Boil the macaroni in a pan for 10mins or until soft,drain and leave in colander.
Make a roux by melting the butter in a pan then add the flour and stir in with wooden spoon, add the milk and whisk with hand held whisk then wooden spoon and add grated cheddar ,add seasoning salt &pepper.
When sauce is thickened take off heat.
Put the cooked macaroni in an ovenproof dish and pour over the cheese sauce, sprinkle over the cheese for the top can be either cheddar or parmesan. Out in med hot oven for 25 mins.
Serve with brown bread & butter.
Try adding cauliflower florets to make a 'Cauliflower Macaroni Cheese'. A combination of two recipes but works really well and makes it even more nourishing. I add breadcrumbs to the grated cheese topping for a bit more crunch; some seeds could be added too.
