Macaroni in cheesy white sauce
Preparation Time : 30 minutes
Cooking Time : 15-25 minutes
Servings : 4
INGREDIENTS
Macaroni 300 grams
Processed cheese, grated 1 cup
Butter 2 tablespoons
Refined flour (maida) 2 tablespoons
Milk 2 cups
Salt to taste
White pepper powder to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon
METHOD
Boil macaroni in sufficient water till al dente. Drain and refresh under running water. Drain and set aside. Heat butter in a pan. Add maida and sauté lightly, taking care that it does not change colour. Add milk, gradually, stirring continuously so that there are no lumps formed. Add grated cheese and keep stirring. After adding cheese the sauce will thicken further, so add more milk to adjust the consistency. Add salt, white pepper powder and mix. Heat some butter in another pan. Add macaroni. Toss. Strain the sauce into this pan and mix gently. Add some more cheese. At this stage if you want to bake you can do so till the cheese at the top becomes a light golden. Or serve it just like that. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
