Ingredients: 2 cups macaroni pasta. 2 tablespoons butter. 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour. 1 cup milk. 1 cup tomato sauce. 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh basil leaves for garnish optional.
Instructions: Follow the directions on the package to cook the macaroni. Then, drain it and set it aside. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and stir it in. Cook for one to two minutes, until it turns yellow. Slowly whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth and thick. Add the tomato sauce and mix it in well. Shred the cheddar cheese and stir it in until it melts and is smooth. Add pepper and salt to taste. When you add the cooked macaroni to the sauce, stir it around until it's fully covered and hot.
