Simple macaroni and cheese recipe

Alright this is where we start. The basic but nonetheless 'Classic' macaroni and cheese recipe. This recipe is really oriented towards those no-frills (but still great!) lunches or dinners, always a kids favorite!

What you will need for this:

* 1 pound macaroni elbows pasta package
* 8 tablespoons regular butter
* 1/2 cup of all purpose white flour
* 3 cups milk
* 1.5 cups of grated Cheddar cheese
* 1.5 cups of grated Monterrey cheese
* teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

How do you make this simple macaroni and cheese:

If you want to bake it in the oven, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, because this recipe's preparations will go very fast;
but this is not necessary to bake this recipe, it really is a matter of choice. So here goes:

To cook the pasta, in a deep pot boil your water with a pinch of salt.
In the mean time while you wait for the water to boil, melt the butter in a frying pan and add to it the flour.
Stir your cheese sauce constantly for about 10 minutes.
Add the milk gradually during this 10 minute period and stir the sauce until it just starts to boil, at this point lower the heat setting and let it simmer under low heat for 5 minutes.

Boil the pasta until it is ready, 'al dente' or just follow the instructions on the package.
In the frying pan with the butter, milk and flour add the grated cheeses and mix everything until it all melts completely. Pull away the skillet from the fire.
When the pasta is ready, drain them and add to the cheeses sauce. Sprinkle the black pepper on top.
You can serve this as is without further manipulations (which is what I recommend with this one);
however, if you choose to bake it, put in a large enough oven going pan to bake for 30 minutes.
Allow it to cool down and then serve. Voilà!
