Easy, cheesy Mac and Cheese

I was trying to think of ways that i could use my cooked leftover pasta and......MAC N CHEESE came to my mind. This is a great way to use up leftover pasta.

Macaroni and Cheese

3 T. butter
3 T. flour
2 c. milk
salt and pepper
1 lb. grated cheese - I used 2% cheddar
3 c. cooked pasta

Melt butter in a sauce pan, add flour and stir. Gradually add milk and stir until thickened and unlumpy - you now have a velouté(look at you all fancy schmancy). Add salt and pepper until it tastes good, and then add grated cheese and stir until melted.

Stir in pasta and pour into a buttered casserole dish. Bake for 350 F for about 20 minutes or until browned.
