Rather than bake the mac and cheese, we sprinkled crunchy, cheesy toasted panko bread crumbs on top. We cooked the macaroni in a smaller-than-usual amount of water (along with some milk), so we didn’t have to drain it the liquid that was left after the elbows were hydrated was just enough to form the base of the sauce. A bit of mustard and cayenne pepper added piquancy. Because American cheese has plenty of emulsifier but not a lot of flavor, we combined it with more-flavorful extra-sharp cheddar. Inspired by an innovative macaroni and cheese recipe that calls for adding sodium citrate, an emulsifying salt, to cheese to keep it smooth when heated (instead of adding flour to make a béchamel), we based our sauce on American cheese, which contains a similar ingredient. Use a 4-ounce block of American cheese from the deli counter rather than presliced cheese. Because the macaroni is cooked in a measured amount of liquid, we don’t recommend using different shapes or sizes of pasta. Tips/Techniques: Barilla makes our favorite elbow macaroni. Transfer to warm serving dish and sprinkle panko mixture over top. Stir macaroni until sauce is smooth (sauce may look loose but will thicken as it cools). Off heat, sprinkle Parmesan over panko mixture and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until evenly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine panko, oil, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in 8-inch nonstick skillet until panko is evenly moistened. Cover saucepan and let stand for 5 minutes. Off heat, stir in cheddar until evenly distributed but not melted. Add American cheese, mustard, and cayenne and cook, stirring constantly, until cheese is completely melted, about 1 minute. Cook, stirring frequently, until macaroni is soft (slightly past al dente), 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in macaroni and reduce heat to medium-low.
