📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil with some salt over high heat.

Add the macaroni and cook until the pasta is a little undercooked (al dente); approximately ⏱️ 7-8 minutes. Drain the water from the pasta and place back into the pot.

While the pasta is cooking, you can make the cheese sauce. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat; then add the flour to form a roux.
