SIMPLE MACARONI CHEESE 
1 pint (2 c.) Milk
50 g. (4 tbsp.) butter
50 g. (1/2 c.) Plain Flour
200 g. (8 oz.) Macaroni pasta
150 g. (6 oz.) Cheddar cheese
50 g. (2 oz.) Red Leicester Cheese to top

Put water to boil, when boiled add pasta. Melt butter in a saucepan, add flour and stir to a roux (paste). Take the roux off the heat and gradually add milk stirring all the time so not to go lumpy. Put pan back on a high heat and stir until sauce has thickened. Remove once again from heat and add Cheddar cheese. Stir until cheese has melted.

Drain Macaroni and put into a casserole dish. Pour the cheese sauce on top and sprinkle with the Red Leicester Cheese. Place under a hot grill and wait until the cheese has turned brown. Remove and eat when slightly cooled.

Very good recipe! I put the pasta on first and let it cool before giving it a good mix with the sauce. I would recommend baking it for 10-15 mins, leaving the oven door oven for the last 5 mins. It is also quite rich and so some sliced or baby tomatoes help to break it up a bit. Very simple and easy but a good classic. Thanks alot.

Tasty and easy to cut in half if you're cooking for one. Better served hot though.
