This was my first time making homemade macaroni and cheese. It is a low(er) fat version than usual, but it was still pretty tasty! I borrowed it from Cate's blog. Hers came out a lot more yellow than mine, which is weird because I followed the directions exactly! This recipe makes about 4 servings. Next time, I will probably add some garlic and butter, and maybe some breadcrumbs to top. I served it with roasted broccoli. We will make this again!
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups uncooked macaroni
1 cup 1% milk (I used 2%)
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp salt
Pepper
Directions
1. Cook pasta in a medium saucepan according to pasta directions
2. Transfer to a colander
3. In the same saucepan, combine the milk and the flour over medium heat, stirring with a whisk
4. Cook, stirring constantly until thickened - about 2 minutes
5. Add cheese, salt, pepper, and continue whisking until all cheese is melted
6. Turn of heat, stir in pasta, and let sit for a few minutes.

I think mine just looks more yellow because I put it on a blue plate. The original recipe called for breadcrumbs, but I was too lazy! I bet it would be great with garlic!
