I just had the same experience. Gotta tell you, parm mac and cheese is not good. Ended up adding a whole extra bag of noodles and tomato sauce for sweetness and acidity. It's edible now but I went overboard cause I can't even taste the parm.
I've been experimenting with different cheeses in my stovetop mac and to be honest, America/cheddar is still the best combo I've found. Was disappointed when a batch of smoked Gouda was still good, but not as good as the sauce made from "milk-product" slices and any old block of mild cheddar.
I'm sure parm would be good in breadcrumbs on top or a little in the sauce but this was a mistake sauce that was just parm and cream. Live and learn.
For mac and cheese, have you tried hot sauce? Just a little makes the cheese pop. It's like coffee and chocolate.
