• annokset: 5 servings
• kokonaisaika: 30 minutes

Ainekset

1/2 lb uncooked elbow macaroni (, about 1 ½ cups)

3 tablespoons butter

2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 1/2 cups milk (, any kind)

Ohjeet

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and lightly grease an 8' square (or similar size) baking dish.

Cook the macaroni to al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Make the sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Blend in the flour, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes. Slowly add the milk and half and half, stirring constantly, and cook over medium-low heat for a few minutes until the mixture has thickened like the consistency of gravy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup shredded cheese, stirring just until melted.

Combine: Add the cooked macaroni noodles and toss to coat. Pour half or the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese over the top. Add remaining pasta and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melted on top.
