Add the macaroni, water, and salt to a 10” skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the pasta until it’s tender, about 10 minutes (though the time may vary depending on the pasta you use - the time on the package is a good estimate). Stir often to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
In the meantime, combine the breadcrumbs and oil in a small bowl, stirring with a fork until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Once the pasta has cooked through, turn the stove off and remove from the heat. Mix in the cheese, mustard, and thyme. Spread the breadcrumbs over the top of the macaroni. Heat the breadcrumbs with your torch, sweeping the flame back and forth over the dish until the crumbs are golden brown.
Serve & enjoy!
