Boil the macaroni

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add some salt to the water, and then carefully pour in the macaroni. Let it cook according to the package instructions until it's al dente.

Prepare the cheese sauce

In a separate saucepan, melt some butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk it together to make a roux. Slowly pour in milk while whisking continuously until the mixture thickens. Add shredded cheese and stir until it's melted and smooth.

Once they're ready, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve your moonlit mac 'n cheese crescent moons with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a side of your favorite dipping sauce.
