½ c. In a teaspoon of salt (to taste)
Coals with butter (optional) Heat the milk (on the stove or
in the microwave), but do not boil. Keep it warm.
Grate the cheese into large chunks and set aside (a food
processor with a grater disc will do this quickly) Bring a large pot with water
to a boil, add salt to the water, then add the macaroni. When the macaroni is
in the water, start the next stage (the sauce). You want the sauce and macaroni

for cooking, you can remove the water from the pasta when it is slightly
undercooked. It will cook a little longer in the oven, and if it is perfectly
prepared when it comes, it could be too soft. Make the white sauce. Melt the
butter over medium-low heat, then add the flour with a whisk (called a roux).

butter does not burn). Continue stirring to cook the flour a little, but do not
leave brown. Add hot milk at the same time, shake vigorously with a whisk to
smooth the lumps. Beat the mustard and pepper if used and let the sauce boil
gently for about 2 minutes.

microwave.

much water as possible. Some people prefer to rinse the pasta briefly to keep
on receiving flour (which removes excess starch released by heat).
Remove the sauce from the pan and stir in the grated cheese
and cooked macaroni. Stir until well blended, then add salt and pepper to
taste.
