Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 8 minutes. Drain.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour to make a roux. Slowly add milk to roux, stirring constantly. Stir in Cheddar and Parmesan cheeses and cook over low heat until cheese is melted and sauce is thick, about 3 minutes. Place macaroni in large baking dish and pour sauce over macaroni. Stir well.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs and stir until butter is absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes. Spread over macaroni to cover. Sprinkle with paprika.
- Bake in preheated oven until cheese sauce is hot and breadcrumbs are browned, about 30 minutes.

- Cook your pasta according to package directions in heavily salted water and drain. If baking your mac and cheese: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and grease an 8 x 8" baking pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Make the cheese sauce: melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, just until it starts to foam. Add the flour to the butter and whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture smells warm and nutty. If the flour coats the bottom of the pan and starts to turn golden brown, turn the heat down to medium-low.
- Pour the milk into the saucepan while continuing to whisk the roux. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, whisking non-stop, or until the sauce thickens up and you can see the bottom of the pot when you whisk it.
- Turn the heat to low. Add in 1 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese and salt. Whisk vigorously for 15-30 seconds, or until the cheese is smooth & creamy. Remove the pot from the heat.

- Chop the extra firm tofu up into small pieces and then add it to the blender. Next, add the onion powder, garlic powder, Anthony’s cheddar cheese powder, salt, and stone-ground mustard to the blender. Then, blend all the ingredients until they are thoroughly combined and the cheese sauce is smooth. Also, scrape down the sides of the blender with a spatula to make sure everything gets mixed.
- Add the cheese sauce to a pan on the stove. Start to heat up the cheese sauce and then add the light or fat-free cheddar cheese. Fold in the cheese on low to medium heat so you don’t burn the sauce. Continue mixing until all of the cheese is incorporated and melted.
- Now that the cheese sauce is finished, you can start boiling water for your favorite pasta or zucchini noodles. Cook your pasta to the desired texture. Once it’s cooked, drain the pasta, but save a little pasta water in case you want to thin out the cheese sauce a little bit.
- Then, in a large pot, thoroughly mix the cheese sauce and pasta. If you don’t end up using all of the cheese sauce, you can store it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and then heat it up. You can make more mac and cheese or use this cheese sauce mixed into spaghetti squash, poured over broccoli, or enjoy it with some chips!
