- Heat oven to 400°F
- Butter a casserole or 9 x 13 inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter.
- Cook macaroni until almost tender but still firm, about 2 minutes less than package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, oil, 1 teaspoon of the salt and the pepper and set aside.
- In a saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Stirring constantly, add the flour and cook for 3 minutes. The mixture will clump together.
- Still stirring constantly, add the milk slowly.
- Cook for 7 minutes. Add the Cheddar and the remaining salt and cook, stirring, until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes.
- Add the macaroni and combine.
- Transfer to the baking dish and top with the bread crumb mixture.
- Bake until golden and bubbling slightly around the edges, about 25 minutes.
