Baked Macaroni and Cheese

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Mist 2 8-inch square baking dishes with cooking spray.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook macaroni until slightly tender but still firm, 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and run under cold water.

In a medium skillet, melt 1 Tbsp. butter over low heat. Stir in bread crumbs. Remove from heat; stir in Parmesan and parsley. Transfer to a bowl. Melt remaining 4 Tbsp. butter in a pan over low heat. Add flour and whisk for 3 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk, then mustard and cayenne. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cheeses until melted. Season with salt and additional cayenne. Stir in macaroni. Divide mixture between baking dishes; top with bread-crumb mixture.

Bake casseroles until lightly browned and bubbling, 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
