There's No Taste Like Home

Not afraid of butter and cheese? Love carbs? Looking to please a picky toddler?

Do I have the perfect secret family recipe for you!

Aunt Teddie's Macaroni and Cheese

1 pound (450 grams) of pasta (rigatoni, fusilli, penne, etc.), cooked and drained
1 stick (113 grams) of butter, melted
8 tablespoons flour
4 cups (32 ounces) milk, slightly heated
1 pound (450 grams) mild cheese, shredded
breadcrumbs

Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius.
Slowly mix flour into (melted) butter.
Slowly add in (slightly heated) milk over medium heat, whisking until consistency thickens.
Slowly fold-in (shredded) cheese.
Add this "roux" to (cooked and drained) pasta in an ovenproof dish.
Sprinkle breadcrumbs on top, and cook in oven for 30-40 minutes.

Enjoy!
