Instructions: Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add macaroni, lower the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 10 minutes. Drain.

While macaroni is cooking, melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk flour into butter; continue to cook, whisking constantly, until mixture reaches the consistency of a thick paste, about 2 minutes.

Raise heat to medium, add milk and continue to cook, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Add grated cheese; stir with a wooden spoon until cheese melts, about 2 minutes.

Stir drained macaroni into cheese sauce; serve.

Yield: 4 servings.
