Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Serves 4 

 What you need:

• 2 rounded cups dry macaroni cooked until just al dente, drained
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 pouch of Haven’s Kitchen Zippy Chili Harissa
• 2 cups grated Smoked Gouda or White Cheddar
• 2 tbsp. Shredded cheese to top

 How to make it:

1.   Preheat your oven to 350F 
2.   Make a roux!: Melt the butter in a pan and add the flour. Whisk to combine, and cook for a minute or so, stirring constantly. Then, add the milk and whisk to combine, continuing to heat until the milk comes to a simmer and is thickened (a roux!)
3.   Add salt, pepper, and about ¼ pouch of Zippy Harissa
4. Take the pan off the heat and stir in most of the cheese, stir until all of the cheese is incorporated and the sauce is smooth
5. In a medium baking dish, combine the macaroni with the sauce and bake for about 30 minutes until bubbling
6.   Sprinkle with the remaining cheese for the last 5 minutes of baking. Allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing
