This is a fabulous recipe! The only thing I recommend is increasing the sauce and cheese. The only way this recipe could be better is to make is cheesier. The flavor is great!

We loved this macaroni and cheese! It's creamy and cheesy and the herbs give it wonderful flavor. I used 16 oz of macaroni but took the advice of some others and doubled the cheese sauce. We do love it extra creamy but next time I will only up the cheese sauce by half; that is plenty extra. Since my sweetheart ate two bowls before I could get it to the oven, I'm going to cook a bit more macaroni (probably about 6-8 oz more) and use the rest of the sauce so I have a full pan to bake. Oh - I left off the panko bread crumbs this time and simply liberally sprinkled the top with paprika. Great recipe and I will make it again and again. Thank you, Chef John.

Very good, we really liked the panko crumbs. Still we would have liked a more cheesy sauce. Next time we will try making double the sauce.

I loved it but my 2-year-old son did not. I'll definitely be trying it again though.

Delicious, lots of flavour, nice crust, and a nice kick of spice at the end. I have a 3 year old so next time I'll take it a bit easier on the cayenne to make it less spicy for her. Otherwise, yum!

It was good but the amount of spice is too much.There was a certain flavour that just didn't seem to fit. But the crust is amazing!

Let me start by saying that I have never made mac & cheese before unless it came out of a Kraft box. I don't eat the stuff, so I never really saw the need to try. That said, my husband and two sons all love the stuff. So, for Easter, I decided to try this recipe because it had such great reviews. Easy enough to make (and I followed the recipe exactly as written) but all in all, the boys were not overly impressed. They said it was ok but very bland. I will try another one next time, but thanks to Chef John for an easy dish for my first try at mac & cheese.
