For the Mac & Cheese:
1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk

Instructions:
Cook the Macaroni: Boil salted water and cook the macaroni until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Make the Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to make a roux. Gradually add milk, whisking until smooth and thickened. Stir in cheddar and mozzarella until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in the cooked macaroni.
Assemble the Pizza: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the pizza crust on a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce.
Add the Toppings: Evenly spread the mac & cheese over the crust. Top with extra mozzarella, Parmesan, and sliced bell peppers if using. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a little heat.
Bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with dried oregano and fresh parsley. Slice, serve, and enjoy this cheesy, gooey masterpiece!
