Cooking Instructions
  1. Boil salted water in a large pot. Add the elbow pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the heavy cream slowly until smooth, then stir in Boursin cheese and cheddar until melted.
  3. Mix the drained pasta into the cheese sauce, allowing the sauce to coat each piece of pasta.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the pasta and sauce mixture into a greased baking dish.
  5. Combine panko breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle generously over the mac and cheese.
  6. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.

Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Cook the pasta just until al dente and keep the heat low when melting the cheeses to avoid a grainy sauce.
