Categories: Veggie, Pasta, Main dish, Good
Yield: 6 Servings
2 3/4 c Small pasta (elbow macaroni,

1/4 c Butter
2 tb Flour
1/2 ts Dry mustard
2 c Milk
1 1/4 c Cheddar cheese; grated
1/2 c Soft bread crumbs
1 cl Garlic; minced
Salt & pepper; to taste
Using 1 tb butter, brown bread crumbs in a skillet, set aside. Cook
pasta until tender but still slightly firm. Drain and rinse with hot
water until water runs clear. In the skillet melt rest of the butter,
stir in the flour and dry mustard, making a paste. Slowly add the
milk, stirring continually to break up any lumps that may remain.
Cook, stirring, until mixture thickens. Stir in 1 cup of the grated
cheese, and mix until cheese is completely melted. Add cooked pasta
to the cheese mixture. Stir until pasta is evenly coated with the
sauce. Place in a greased baking dish, arrange browned bread crumbs
over the top and sprinkle on 1/4 cup of the grated cheddar cheese.
Bake in a 325 F oven for about 30 to 40 minutes or until crumbs
turn a golden brown color
