Instructions

1. 1

   Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in pasta and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 6 to 8 minutes.

2. 2

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour until mixture is a smooth paste and no lumps remain. Slowly pour in evaporated milk, whisking continuously. Whisk in Worcestershire, Dijon mustard, and salt, and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

4. 4

   Add in 1/4 cup of Italian Cheddar, 1/4 cup Gruyère, 1/4 cup Fontina, and 1/4 cup sharp Cheddar. Remove rind from Brie and add to sauce; stir until all the cheese has melted, about 1 minute.

5. 5

   Drain pasta and add to the cheese sauce. Pour half of the macaroni and cheese into the prepared baking dish.

6. 6

   Toss remaining 2 tablespoons each of Italian Cheddar, Gruyère, Fontina, and sharp Cheddar together in a small bowl; sprinkle half of cheese mixture over pasta. Pour remaining pasta into the dish; sprinkle remaining cheese mixture over the top.

7. 7

   Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until cheese is golden, about 25 minutes.
