MACARONI & CHEESE

We have Thomas Jefferson to thank for introducing Macaroni & Cheese  to America after his trip to Italy in 1787.  No one really know exactly where the pasta originated in Italy or China.

This is one of my favorite dishes, and it can be prepared in many different ways, you can have one cheese or many different cheeses, its all in how you prepare the cheese sauce.

My favorite cheese to use is 

Velveeta and mozzarella  cheese.

INGREDIENTS:

Pasta ( can use any kind)

Cheeses of choice

butter 1/2 cup

1/4oz flour

2 cups of half & Half

INSTRUCTIONS:

When water begins to boil, put your pasta in and boil for about 7 minutes.

Remove pasta from water and put in a colander to drain .

Set aside and make your cheese sauce.
