CREAMY STOVE-TOP MAC ‘N’ CHEESE

Ingredients:

• 4 Tbsp butter
• 4 Tbsp cornstarch
• 2 cups milk
• ½ Gruyere, grated
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 cups macaroni noodles or elbow noodles

Directions:

1. Cook noodles to al dente according to package directions.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Add cornstarch and stir with a wooden spoon until you have a lump-free paste. Continue to stir for a minute or two. This will help cook out that raw cornstarch taste.
3. Slowly add milk while whisking constantly. Simmer until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Add Gruyere and stir until melted.
4. Add drained cooked noodles to cheese mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.
