Cooking Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add macaroni, and cook until al dente, about 7-9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes to form a roux.
  3. Gradually pour in milk while whisking, cooking until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat, stir in cheddar and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Fold the cooked pasta into the cheese sauce until well-coated.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and transfer pasta mixture to a buttered casserole dish.
  7. Cut mozzarella into ghost shapes and place on top of the pasta, adding sesame seeds for eyes.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
