How to make: Macaroni and Cheese

Will Need
175g dried macaroni or 200g fresh macaroni
For the cheese source
50g butter
50g plain flour
600ml milk
1tsp mustard paste
175g grated cheddar cheese
salt and pepper
What to do
Cook the macaroni then drain it. To make the sauce melt the butter in a pan over a low heat. Stir in the flour and cook it for one minute. Take the pan off the heat and add a little milk. Stir in well and add the milk a little bit at a time. Return your pan to the heat and start to bring it to the boil stirring all the time. The sauce will stick to the pan if you don't stir it. The sauce will begin to thicken, let it bubble for a minute then turn off the heat. Stir in the mustard and cheese. Pour the sauce over the macaroni. Stir well so that the sauce covers all the pieces of macaroni. Grease an ovenproof dish with some butter then pour in the cheesey macaroni. Sprinkle grated cheese on top then put the dish in a preheated oven of 180C/350F/gas mark 4 for 25 minutes until the top is golden brown. Hope you enjoy it. =)
