This is a great afterschool dish because it can be thrown together quickly and doesn’t require a lot of cooking time. You can have supper on the table in less than an hour.

However this is a small recipe and you may wish to double it depending on the age, and number you are feeding. Enjoy

1 cup milk

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons butter

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

1. Cook pasta according to package directions for al dente; drain and set aside.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine milk, flour and salt and pepper to taste; whisk or beat until smooth. Add butter and cheese.
