Yummy Macaroni and Cheese

Here is my recipe for macaroni and cheese from my middle school home-ec class.

2 cups uncooked pasta
1 quart boiling water
1 tsp. salt
--------------------------------------------------
2 Tbsp. margarine or butter
2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup milk
1 to 2 cups shredded cheese (1 cup cheddar + 1 cup mozzarella recommended)

1. Bring water to boil in a large saucepan or small kettle. Add salt. Add pasta.
2. Stir occasionally. Cook uncovered at a fast boil for 7 or 8 minutes. Drain,
but do not rinse pasta.
--------------------------------------------------
3. In saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter/margarine.
4. Stir in flour and salt.
5. Slowly add milk so that butter flour mix doesn't lump. Cook and stir until thick.
6. Add shredded cheese and stir until melted.
--------------------------------------------------
7. Stir together cheese sauce and macaroni and serve.

8. Optional: After macaroni and cheese sauce are mixed, pour into a 1 1/2 quart casserole
dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or until heated through.

Makes 6 servings.
