my mom use to make hers just like the recipe ';smart alec'; put on here. delicious.
melt 3 tablespoons butter in a pan heated to medium high heat (or, just use 3 tablespoons olive oil). sprinkle 3 tablespoons flour into the melted fat %26amp; whisk until smooth. cook for 2-3 minutes, then add 3 cups hot milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. add salt %26amp; pepper to taste and 1 teaspoon dry mustard. cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens to coat the back of a spoon. take off the heat and add 2-3 cups shredded cheese of your choice (i like sharp cheddar or gruyere, or a comination of the two), stir until melted. in the meantime, cook a package of elbow macaroni per the package instructions. drain %26amp; place into a buttered 13x9 pan (glass or light colored is best). pour cheese sauce over noodles %26amp; shake lightly or stir carefully to distribute the cheese. top with 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional) and sprinkle with paprika (also optional) and bake for 20 minutes in a 350f oven, covered with foil. remove foil %26amp; bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until top browns slightly. remove from oven %26amp; let sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to let it set up.
my mom just cooked pasta, and added 1/3 cup of milk and about a quarter of a block of valeeta cheese mix and melt together and voila.
