  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
  • 50 gram Bread Crumbs
  • 10 gram Parsley
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  8. Add the cooked macaroni to the saucepan and stir until all the macaroni is coated with the cheese sauce.
  9. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
