4 cups milk
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper to taste
1 pound elbow pasta
1 pound cheddar cheese (grated)
Cook elbow pasta in boiling salted water for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside. Melt butter in pan and stir in flour slowly. Continue to cook and stir for 2 minutes and then add pre-heated milk gradually as you stir. Bring mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Stir constantly as sauce will start to thicken and may burn if not stirred. Add salt and pepper. Mix pasta, sauce and 3/4 of cheese and place in buttered casserole dish. Cover top of mixture with remainder of cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes. Brown under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes if cheese is not brown after baking. |
