Recipe Introduction




Serves 6





List of Ingredients




1 pound Elbow Macaroni, Rotini, or other medium pasta shape
2 tbsp. margarine
6 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. salt
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese




Recipe



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

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

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