1
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Make the Cheese Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes until it forms a roux.
3
Add Milk and Cheese
Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the white cheddar cheese until fully melted and smooth.
4
Season the Sauce
Add salt and black pepper to the cheese sauce, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
5
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until the pasta is well coated.
6
Serve
Portion the mac and cheese into serving bowls. Optionally, serve with a side of our signature spicy chipotle sauce.
