Mac ‘n Cheese

 

1 lb. small shells pasta

1 lb. grated cheddar cheese

1 cube butter

1 T. minced onions

½ cup flour

4 cups milk

 

Fill soup pot half full with water. Put on stove over high heat with lid. In saucepan, melt 1 cube butter. Add minced onions. Cook 1 minute, stirring. Add flour and mix well. Slowly add milk. Mix well. If mixture seems lumpy, whisk to break up lumps and make a smooth sauce. Keep stirring until the sauce starts to boil and thicken. Reduce heat to low. Add cheese and stir to melt. Add salt and pepper to taste.

While making the sauce, watch the water. When it boils, add pasta. Stir to separate pasta. When the water starts to boil again, reduce heat to medium-high. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour into colander to drain. Return pasta to pot. Pour sauce over pasta and stir to coat.
