Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, about 7–8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to form a smooth roux, cooking 1–2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Slowly whisk in the milk, continuing to whisk until the sauce is smooth and begins to thicken, about 4–6 minutes.

  4. 4

    Reduce heat to low and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Season with the salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Add the drained macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until evenly coated. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a splash of milk to reach creamy consistency. Serve hot.
