For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of hot sauce to the cheese mixture. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Gruyere or Monterey Jack, to customize the flavor profile. To prevent the macaroni from sticking together after draining, toss it with a little olive oil or butter.
