List of Ingredients




1 pound elbow macaroni, rotini or other medium pasta shape

2 tablespoons margarine

6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups milk

1-1/2 cups grated Cheddar cheese

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese


Recipe



1. Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse under cold water and set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

2. In a medium saucepan, melt margarine over low heat. Stir in flour with a whisk and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

3. Gradually whisk in the milk and bring the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add Cheddar cheese, cayenne pepper and salt. Stir until the cheese has melted.

4. In a large mixing bowl, stir the cheese sauce and pasta together. Spoon into a 1-1/2 quart oven-proof casserole dish. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.

5. Bake until browned on top and hot all the way through, about 30 to 35 minutes.
