Method

Steps

Boil the pasta in a large pot of salted water for about 7-8 minutes until tender; drain and set aside.
Create a roux by melting butter in a saucepan, whisking in flour until slightly golden.
Whisk in milk gradually, cooking until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Stir in cheeses until melted and smooth; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine the pasta with the cheese sauce until each piece is coated.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with olive oil or butter.
Add mozzarella ghost shapes on top, pressing them into the mac and cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden on top.
Cool for a few minutes before serving.
