Boil 6 cups of hot water and add 2 tsp of salt.

Cook 250 grams of macaroni pasta in the boiling water until al dente; drain and set aside.

In a pan, heat 2 tbsp of oil and sauté 2 pcs of finely chopped onions and 4 cloves of chopped garlic until fragrant.

Add 4 pcs of sliced medium hotdogs and 150 grams of cut chicken breast; cook until the chicken is done.

Stir in 2 tbsp of tomato paste and 1 cup of tomato sauce; mix well and let simmer.

In a separate saucepan, melt 50 grams of butter over medium heat; whisk in 3 tbsp of flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbly.

Gradually add 1 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of all purpose cream, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens.

Season with 1/2 tsp ground black pepper and 1/2 tsp salt; stir in 1/4 cup of grated cheese and 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese until melted.

Combine the cooked macaroni with the sauce and mix well; transfer to a baking dish and bake until golden.
