Step 1

Cook your pasta according to package directions in heavily salted water and drain. If baking your mac and cheese: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and grease an 8 x 8" baking pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Make the cheese sauce: melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat, just until it starts to foam. Add the flour to the butter and whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture smells warm and nutty. If the flour coats the bottom of the pan and starts to turn golden brown, turn the heat down to medium-low.

Step 3

Pour the milk into the saucepan while continuing to whisk the roux. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, whisking non-stop, or until the sauce thickens up and you can see the bottom of the pot when you whisk it.

Step 4

Turn the heat to low. Add in 1 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese and salt. Whisk vigorously for 15-30 seconds, or until the cheese is smooth & creamy. Remove the pot from the heat.

Step 5

Stir the drained pasta into the cheese sauce and gently fold it in until combined. If not baking the pasta: serve the macaroni and cheese hot!

Step 6

If baking the pasta: pour the macaroni and cheese into the greased baking dish and bake for 21-23 minutes, or until the cheese on top turns golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve hot!
