First prepare the béchamel sauce. Follow the cooking guidance on the pasta pack, taking care not to over-soften the pasta, as it will continue cooking with the sauce in the oven. Combine the drained large elbows with the sauce and transfer to a baking dish. Sprinkle with grated kaşar cheese and bake until the cheese melts and the top turns golden.
Toss the mixture gently before placing it in the dish so the sauce is distributed evenly between the pasta pieces. Letting it rest briefly after baking makes it easier to divide into portions. Serve with a tomato salad or roasted vegetables. The best detail of this Nur Makarna Large Elbow Macaroni dish is sharing the same table, from the first portion to the final spoonful.
