In a large skillet or pan, melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and 1 medium diced yellow onion, and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Pour in 2 cups of heavy cream and add 0.5 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add 3 tablespoons of hot sauce to the simmering cream mixture and whisk well to combine until the sauce turns a uniform orange color.
Stir in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Continue whisking until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce, creating a smooth, creamy consistency.
Add the cooked 2 cups of elbow macaroni to the cheese sauce. Stir thoroughly with a spatula or spoon, ensuring all the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
Top the mac and cheese with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of dried parsley for garnish. Serve immediately.
