Instructions

Cook the pasta as per instructions. Do not overcook, it should be al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and stir for 1-2 minutes. Watch carefully that it does not get burn. Add milk in a steady stream while constantly whisking to break up lumps and cook until it thickens. Add shredded cheese.
In a large bowl, combine pasta and cheese sauce until all are fully coated. Serve.

Notes

You may also add some precooked bits of ham or bacon or vegetables like broccoli or cauliflower or even onions. Add them on the last part.
