Creating this amazing Kimchi Mac and Cheese is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
