Ingredients:

  • 1 (16 oz) box elbow macaroni
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 3 -6 garlic cloves
  • 2 cups milk
  • 10 -12 pieces american cheese
  • basil (optional)

Directions:

  1. Put a medium pot of water on to boil. When boiling, add the elbow macaroni and cook for the amount of time the box requires.
  2. While the pasta is boiling, combine the butter, finely chopped garlic, and flour in a small to medium size sauce pan on medium heat. When the butter is completely melted and the mixtures forms a very loose dough remove from heat. Add salt, pepper, and milk. Return to medium-high heat and whisk until everything is well combined. Keep stirring occasionally until the mixture begins to boil.
  3. When the mixture begins boiling, slowly add a few pieces of cheese at a time and whisk until melted. Continue this process until all of the cheese is melted. If you like basil, you can add some at this time.
  4. Drain the pasta and return back to the pot. Then add cheese mixture. Stir and serve!
