Ingredients
- 10.5 ounces elbow macaroni or any pasta you like
- 2 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded, or other preferred cheese or combination of different cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
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.
