- 2/3 cup Pizza Sauce
- 2/3 cup water
- 3 tablespoon of margarine

Instructions
- Cook your pasta according to the instructions, drain and set aside.

- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, then add in the flour. Mix it in completely.
- Take your milk and mix it into the butter/flour combination slowly, a little bit at a time. The secret to a roux is to add the milk slowly, stirring constantly to ensure that there are no lumps/ Keep adding the milk slowly until it's all incorporated.
- Add in the water and pizza sauce.
- Cook the sauce over medium heat until it's thickened up then add in the cheese. Stir until it's completely melted then remove from the heat.
- Combine the sauce and macaroni together in the large sauce pan.
- In a greased deep dish 10x10 pan (or the equivalent) , pour the macaroni and spread out in the pan evenly.
- Top with a layer of pepperoni slices, then add the cheese on top.
- Bake in the oven until the cheese is melted on top and starts to bubble, approximately 15 minutes.
