Ingredients
- 2 cups elbow macaroni

- 4 oz. Garlic & Herb Cabot Cheddar Cheese thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill minced

Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in 1-2 tablespoons salt. Once the water is boiling, boil elbow macaroni for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain and set to the side.
- Then add the 1 tablespoon of salted butter to the pot. Melt and stir in the flour to create a roux. Pour in the whole milk and whisk into the roux until smooth. Cook on medium heat until just warmed.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Add the thinly sliced Garlic & Herb Cabot Cheddar Cheese to the pot. Mix well with a wooden spoon until the cheddar melts. Add in the fresh herbs and pasta. Mix well and serve immediately!
