Easy stove-top mac and cheese

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 5 ounces whole wheat macaroni (1 1/3 cups dry)
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Cook macaroni until al dente. Drain water.

Melt butter in a saucepan. Add flour and cook over low heat for 1 minute to make a roux. Add in a quarter of milk and whisk until smooth. Add in remaining milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. When it boils, reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes or until it thickens.

Remove from the heat and add in the cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese melts and sauce is smooth.
