Tini's Mac and Cheese features a smooth, velvety cheese sauce coating perfectly cooked pasta. Melt butter, mix with cheese, combine with pasta and serve warm.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, until the mixture becomes a light golden paste. Gradually add the milk, and whisk until the sauce is smooth and begins to thicken. Stir the shredded cheese, salt, pepper and any additional seasonings. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.
Pour the cooked pasta into the saucepan with the cheese sauce. Stir well until each piece of pasta is coated evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of warm milk to loosen it.
For a baked version, preheat the oven to 180°C. Transfer the mac and cheese to a greased baking dish, sprinkle extra shredded cheese or breadcrumbs (on top) and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from heat or oven and let it sit for a few minutes. Serve warm as a main dish or a side.
