Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Use a small amount of the topping butter to grease a 2-quart casserole dish.

In a large pot, bring generously salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Približno 10 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Cooking the pasta al dente prevents it from becoming mushy after baking in the sauce.

While the macaroni cooks, melt the sauce butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Whisk in the flour and cook for one minute, stirring constantly, to form a smooth paste (a roux).
Približno 1 min
Kuharjeva opomba: Cooking the flour for a minute removes its raw taste.

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent any lumps from forming.

Bring the sauce to a simmer and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until it has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the grated cheese for the sauce, salt, and black pepper until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
