Stovetop Mac and Cheese

Boil macaroni in salted water until just tender. Drain and set aside.

In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour; cook 1 minute.

Slowly whisk in milk. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, 3–5 minutes.

Turn heat low. Stir in cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper.

Fold in the pasta. Add a splash of milk if it gets too thick. Serve hot.
