Mac and Cheese


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.
