For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg to the cheese sauce. To achieve an even smoother sauce, consider using a hand blender to puree the melted cheese and tomato mixture before adding the pasta. If you prefer a crusty top, transfer the macaroni and cheese to a baking dish, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, and bake at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown. (15-20 minutes)
