In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat, then stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes until blended and bubbly.
Add salt and pepper, then gradually whisk in milk and cook until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the fresh herbs, Boursin, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses until melted.
Fold the drained macaroni into the cheese sauce until coated, then spoon into the prepared baking dish.
