Classic Macaroni and Cheese
 
Ingredients
  • 1 ½ (16 oz) boxes elbows
  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • ½ tsp salt, plus additional to taste
  • 7 oz brick cheddar cheese
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350⁰F.
  2. Prepare pasta according to package directions. Salt to taste.
  3. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Whisk in flour to create a roux. Whisk in whole milk, raise heat to medium-high and cook until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally. Stir in ½ teaspoon salt.
  4. Meanwhile, grate cheddar cheese. Once sauce thickens, stir in cheese. Combine pasta and sauce in an oven to table dish.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes (more if you like crispy noodles, less if you’re in a rush and like it saucy).
