- 4 cups milk
- 6 cups cheddar cheese *shredded
- 1 tablespoon salt

Topping
- 2 tablespoon butter

- Boil pasta in water according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, add butter to a large skillet. Once butter is melted, whisk in flour.
- When flour is dissolved, add in salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring until smooth and mixture has thickened. Remove from heat.
- Drain water from pasta once cooked and put pasta into a greased 9 x 13 pan. Sprinkle cheese on top of pasta evenly. Pour milk mixture directly on top of cheese and using a spoon, toss to coat.
