What is more cozy or comforting than Mac n Cheese on a cold winters day. And I am not talking about that stuff that comes in a box that my cousin affectionately calls "Yellow Death" Oh no...not in this house! Once you try this; you will never go back to the boxed stuff...and it is just about as easy!
Start one large pot of water to boil on the stove. When boiling, add 2 cups of elbow macaroni and 2 Tablespoons of salt. Stir immediately to break pasta apart . Bring back to a boil and stir a few times to keep pasta from sticking to itself.
Meanwhile, grate 11/2 c cheddar cheese and set aside.
Drain pasta when it is cooked to al dente. And let it sit aside in the strainer. In the same pot, melt 1/3 cup butter and add 2 cups of milk bring just to a boil. While waiting for it to heat, take 1/2 Tablespoon of cornstarch to 1/3 cup cold water in a cup and stir together till smooth. Slowly stir into simmering milk mixture and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and add cheddar cheese stirring until smooth.
Add pasta back into cheese mixture and stir together and serve.
