Macaroni & Cheese recipe and White Source recipe

[EastCoast]

Hi

Does anybody has good recipe for Macaroni & Cheese ?

I used to buy Kraft's M&C but it was out of stock all the time.  My kids love their recipe.

Besides, any good white source recipe which is good to put on top of pasta ?

White sauce is the easiest thing and forms the basis for Macaroni Cheese.

I find using the microwave is best and you may need to experiment with quantities as I am a "bit of this bit of that chef"  but here you are:

Melt 2 tblspn butter in a bowl, add one tblespn flour and mix til smooth.  Then add half a cup of milk.  Do this slowly and make sure there are no lumps.  Cook in microwave for @1 min on high.  It will come out very thick.  Add another half up if flour and mix thorughly - again make sure there are no lumps.
Microwave again for 1 min.  If the sauce is smooth and thick but not solid it should be done.  If still very thick add another half cup of milk and repeat the cooking.
Season to taste.

For macaroni cheese add one cup on grated cheddar.  Heat for @30 secs till cheese metled through.  Stir through 3-4 cups cooked pasta and you have Macaroni Cheese.

variations include half a cup of frozen peas, bacon bits or sauteed onions.

For a white sauce for lasagne (also called Bechamel)  add a pinch of nutmeg.
Enjoy

Before eating your Macaroni & Cheese try splashing some Worsteshire Sauce on top.  Tastes great.

I make white sauce on the hob.  you have to make a roux which is equal parts of butter/marg and flour, then I just add small amounts of milk at a time (about half a cup) until it reaches the right consistency. 

If you do happen to get lumps, don't panic, just remove from heat and blend or use an electric hand mixer to get rid of them, then continue to add milk until it has reached the thickness you want and starts to bubble.

I don't make macaroni cheese, but I'd imagine you add the cheese when the sauce has reached this stage and continue from there.

Add some dijon mustard to your sauce...very tasty.
