Add the water, milk, macaroni, salt, and pepper to a medium pot.
Bring to a low simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently to prevent the milk from boiling over.
Reduce the heat to low and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the pasta is tender. Add more water if needed as the pasta absorbs the liquid.
Remove the pot from the heat.
Stir in the American cheese, 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, BellaVitano Gold cheese, Romano cheese, and Parmesan cheese one at a time. Stir constantly until each cheese is melted and fully incorporated.
Transfer the macaroni and cheese to an 8x8-inch baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese on top.
Broil for 3–5 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
Serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

Baking Time - The key to making the best version of Chick-Fil-A Mac and Cheese is the special blend of cheeses. We like baking it just right amount of time, to make all these cheeses melt perfectly together for a crispy top. Baking time will vary.
Room Temperature Ingredients - Make sure that all your ingredients are at room temperature. They just blend better instead of being pulled straight out of the refrigerator.
Use Freshly Shredded Cheese - Make sure to skip the bag shredded cheese. Shredding your own cheese is much better and there are no added ingredients.
Cooking Pasta - Keep it slightly firm since it bakes more in the oven.

Variations Ideas

Pasta - Feel free to use noodles of your choice. We recommend using small shells such as elbow pasta, macaroni noodles, or rotini.
Broccoli - This is a great recipe, to sneak in veggies. We like adding in chopped broccoli for added flavor.
