Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes. Gradually add the milk, whisking all the time until there is a smooth sauce. Add the cheeses and stir until melted. Add the pasta to the sauce and mix. Pour the mac and cheese into a large ovenproof dish and top with the remaining cheeses and corn puffs.
