Now, nothing beats Momma's Mac and Cheese, but it is Sunday, and I have absolutely NO Velveeta! Cody really wanted some yummy cheesy something, however, so I nabbed this recipe from Food Network, and changed it to fit our tastes: AKA SIMPLE! It was pretty much delicious, so next time that I am fresh out of the ingredients for the good stuff, I will make this again!
Whole wheat pasta
3 Tbs. butter2 cups milk, warm
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Boil pasta until done, drain. While pasta is cooking, melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large saucepot over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in the warmed milk and bring to a boil, continue to whisk constantly. The mixture will thicken as the heat increases. Stir in 3 cups cheese until it melts.
Top pasta with cheese sauce and enjoy! You can also bake this at 350 degrees for 30 minutes and then eat it, I just didn't have time!

I make this recipe, but after the noodles and the milk/gravy sauce is done I layer it in a baking dish (like lasagna) and then bake it in the oven for 30 minutes. The cheese is soft and gooey inside and crispy crunchy on top...oh soooo good
I love that you recommend using whole wheat pasta - I think it tastes so much better that way. It adds more flavor - kindof a grainy nuttiness - than white pasta.
