Level: Intermediate
Ingredients:
1 pk macaroni 20 oz
2 1/2 cups grated cheese
1 pimento pepper, chopped finely
1 1/2 cup evaporated milk
2 tbsp butter
1 1/2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp white or black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp parsley
1 tsp tomato paste
Directions:
Boil the macaroni, drain and set aside.
Melt the butter over a medium flame. Then add the flour while stirring continuously. Let cook for about 1 minute. (Try to break up the lumps of flour). Add the milk and stir. Add the grated cheese and stir into a smooth paste. Note: To avoid burning, lower the flame.
Add the cheese sauce to the boiled macaroni and mix thoroughly. Add the seasonings and tomato paste and mix again. Pour the macaroni mixture in a greased baking dish 12 x 8 x 2 inches. Sprinkle grated cheese on top. Note: Here I wouldn't give an exact measurement. Just grate enough to cover the surface. You could also sprinkle a bit of parsley on the cheese like we did! Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F or until the top looks golden. Serve cool.
