Directions:

  1. If you do not have total wheat flour, standard flour is great. You can use any milk, but the higher fat content in your milk, the richer and thicker your sauce will be.
  2. We use Sharp Cheddar cheese exclusively for my handmade mac and cheese.
  3. If you have an oven-safe saucepan, you can use that. Otherwise, you will require to transfer the substances to an oven-secure baking dish after you’ve included the pasta to the sauce.
  4. Transfer the pasta and sauce to an oven-safe and sound baking dish.
