Mac and Cheese

Noodles (I like bow-tie and spiral)
4 tbsp. butter
4 tbsp. of flour
2 cups milk
Cheese (a cup will do)

Optional extras: add to taste salt, pepper, cut up hot dogs or other form of meat, broccoli, peas and carrots, and etc.

Cook as many noodles as you want. Drain and in the same pot as you just cooked your noodles in, melt butter. Add flour once melted (this is called a roux - equal parts fat and flour). Add milk and bring to boil. Allow to boil until thick. Add cheese. Mix in the noodles and serve with a sprinkle of basil or oregano on top.

Variations: Just add your vegetables or meat into the noodles for cooking and drain w/ the noodles. Stir it into the sauce when done.
