Macaroni Cheese Recipe

Ingredients

  • 300g macaroni pasta
  • 60g butter
  • 30g plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 475ml milk
  • 250g grated Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tsp cooking oil

Method

  • Using a large casserole pan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.  Add salt and a teaspoon of  cooking oil to the water. (The salt will season the pasta whilst the oil will prevent the pasta from sticking together)
  • Add the macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but still firm to bite, al dente.
  • Melt butter with the remaining cooking oil (again adding oil will prevent the butter from burning) in a saucepan over medium heat; stir in flour, salt and pepper until smooth, about 5 minutes.
  • Slowly pour milk into the butter-flour mixture while continuously stirring until mixture is smooth and bubbling, this might take about 5 minutes.
  • Add Cheddar cheese to milk mixture and stir until cheese is melted, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Fold macaroni into cheese sauce until coated.

Serve immediately!
