Ingredients

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Boil macaroni in 8 cups of salted water- only until "al-dente". While macaroni is cooking, melt butter in a sauce pan, add flour to make a tick paste.

Spray a 9 x9 pan or a pan of your choice with cooking spray or lightly spread with margarine. Drain macaroni and add to pan, pour cheese sauce over and stir to combine. Bake for 30 minutes.
