Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 12 by 9-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the macaroni in plenty of salted boiling water according to the instructions on the package, or until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. Place in a water bowl and set aside until required.
  3. In another pan, bring the milk to a boil and set aside.
  4. Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 5 minutes, whisking continously. Be careful not to let the mixture brown.

  6. Add the sauce to the macaroni. Ad the three-quarters of the crumbled blue cheese and stir well. Transfer the macaroni mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread in an even layer.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the surface. Bake for 25 minutes, until bubbling hot.
  8. If desired, lightly brown top of the macaroni and cheese under a preheated broiler for 3-4 minutes. Serve hot, sprinkled with ground black pepper to taste.
