Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray, set aside.
- In a large saucepan, cook pasta according to package directions for 1 minute less than it instructs for al dente. Drain and set aside while cooking cheese sauce.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sauteing for 2-3 minutes or until just softened and fragrant.
- Whisk in the flour until it forms a paste. Slowly whisk in the milk, nutmeg and seafood seasoning and bring to a low simmer. When bubbles start to form, remove from the heat.
- Off heat, whisk in 2 cups of the cheddar cheese and ¾ cup of the Parmesan cheese. Toss the cheese sauce with the cooked pasta and seafood. Transfer to baking dish. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, toss together the olive oil, panko, seafood seasoning and white pepper, stirring until it is combined.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup cheddar and ¼ cup Parmesan, then the panko topping over mac and cheese. Transfer the dish to the heated oven. Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until the edges are browned and bubbly.
- Remove and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Top with snipped chives or parsley for garnish.
