Ingredients

500 g	Elbow maccheroni
3 tbsp	butter, unsalted
3 tbsp	flour
450 g	sharp cheddar, yellow or white
1 l	milk
some	salt
some	pepper
some	nutmeg
3 clove(s)	garlic

Instructions

Boil maccheroni in plenty of salted water until “al dente”. Drain, but do not rinse.

In a medium saucepot, heat the milk with the peeled garlic.

In a second pot, melt the butter over medium heat and add the flour. Cook for a minute, stirring constantly to make sure the flour doesn’t burn.

Remove garlic cloves from milk and gradually whisk the milk into the roux. Keep stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until it starts to thicken. Add the cheese and turn down the heat. Let the cheese melt slowly into the milk and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste.

Transfer noodles into the sauce and combine. You can either serve this immediately or transfer it to a baking dish, top with more cheese and bake at 200°C for about 30 minutes until bubbly.
