Instructions to make Mac and Cheese:
- Boil 24 oz of pasta of your choice (i used penne rigate) and drain and set aside. Make a roux with 4 tablespoons of butter and 4 tablespoons of flour. Slowly add in warm milk and whisk slowly. Add a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of cracked black pepper.

While whisking, add the hot milk and cook for a minute or two more, until thickened and smooth. Cheese is an obvious ingredient to mac & cheese but don't skirt past it because of that.
