• Vegetable oil (for frying)

For Garnishing:

• Grated Parmesan cheese (as needed)
• Marinara sauce (as desired)
• Fresh parsley leaves (as desired)

Preparation Method for Mac and Cheese Cheesecake Factory:

1. Boil the Pasta:
   Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package, then drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Sauce:
   In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for about 2 minutes to cook the flour.
   Gradually add the milk while whisking continuously, then add the cheddar, Gouda, and mozzarella cheeses. Stir the mixture until the cheeses are fully melted and combined into a smooth sauce.

3. Combine Pasta with Sauce:
   In a large bowl, add the cooked pasta and pour the cheese sauce over it. Mix well using a spatula until the pasta is fully coated.

4. Freeze the Mixture:
   Transfer the pasta mixture into a rectangular Pyrex dish, spreading it evenly. Place it in the freezer for 2 hours until it sets.

5. Shape the Pasta:
   Once frozen, cut the mixture into cubes and roll each cube into a ball using your hands.
   Place the pasta balls back into the Pyrex dish and freeze them again for an additional 3 hours.

6. Coating the Pasta Balls:
   In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a separate bowl, place the flour, and in another, place the breadcrumbs.
   Take the frozen pasta balls and dip them first into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat them in breadcrumbs.

7. Frying the Pasta Balls:
   Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a deep pot over medium heat. Fry the coated pasta balls until they turn golden brown.

8. Serving:
   To serve, place marinara sauce on the plate, arrange the fried mac and cheese balls on top, and garnish with fresh parsley leaves and grated Parmesan cheese.
