Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz elbow macaroni
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 0.5 cup chopped Kalamata olives
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 0.25 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 cup chopped fresh parsley for garnish
  • 0.25 cup breadcrumbs optional, for topping

Method
 

Steps
  1. Cook the macaroni according to package instructions in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens slightly, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to low. Stir in mozzarella and feta cheeses until melted and smooth.
  5. Add cooked macaroni, olives, oregano, and garlic powder to the cheese sauce. Stir until well combined.
  6. Transfer to a greased baking dish. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs if desired.
  7. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden on top.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half or Greek yogurt for part of the milk. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
