This Garlic Confit Mac & Cheese is a decadent, ultra-cheesy pasta dish loaded with rich roasted garlic flavor. Garlic cloves are gently confited in olive oil, then mashed into butter to form the base of a velvety cheese sauce. With layers of cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and even a hint of velveeta, this dish is gooey, creamy, and baked to perfection. Topped with more cheese and crisped in the oven, it’s a garlic lover’s dream comfort food.
