My Mac and Cheese

Whole Wheat Mac and Cheese

10 oz. whole wheat pasta

2 tbs butter

3 tbs flour

2 cups milk

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 tsp ground mustard

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

Cook pasta according to package directions.  Meanwhile, melt butter over medium heat.  Add flour and whisk for 2 - 3 minutes to form a paste. 

SLOWLY add milk, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil, still stirring to avoid burning. Reduce heat back down to medium.  Cook for 5 minutes, until thickened, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat; add cheese, ground mustard, salt and pepper and stir. 

Drain pasta.  Add cheese sauce to pasta and serve.
