White Cheddar Macaroni

 This is a basic macaroni and cheese only with better cheese. 
1 1/2 tablespoons of flour
1 1/2 cups of milk
1 1/2 tablespoons of butte not in pic. 
1 cup of white cheddar (I used the cheap store brand not the stuff from the deli)
1 cup of Beechar's cheese (its a cheese shop for Pike's place but they sell it in the deli blocks of cheese If you can't find it use Gueyere.
 3/4 pound of dry pasta any smallish kind
Melt butter in a medium sauce pan and whisk in butter.  Cook for 30 seconds.
Whisk in milk and stir constantly on medium heat for about 5 min until it slightly thickens.  Simmer but don't boil.  Slowly add in about 3/4 a cup of each kind of cheese.  Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Stir cooked pasta. 
Add a little more milk or cheese as needed to desired consistency.  I like a saucy macaroni so I always do a stove top version.  You might need to add some salt and pepper too after the pasta was added.
