Saucy's Famous Homemade Mac and Cheese
3 cups pasta (penne or macaroni)
1/4 cup butter (real butter please)
1/4 cup flour
3 cups warm milk
pinch of salt
fresh ground pepper
3 cups shredded medium or old (sharp) cheddar cheese,
plus 1/2 cup for topping
croutons or bread crumbs
Prepare the pasta according to cooking directions.
Melt butter. Add flour; cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes. Gradually whisk in the warm milk and cook, stirring constantly over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Stir in cheese until melted. Add cooked pasta and toss to coat.
Pour into a lightly buttered oven-safe dish. Sprinkle liberally with croutons or bread crumbs and the remainder of the shredded cheddar.
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 20 minutes until the topping is melted and browned.
