Here is how you make Easy Stove-Top Mac and Cheese:

Grate your cheeses. I like something sharp for taste as well as something soft for creaminess. I've used cheddar, jalepeno jack and mozzarella in the past.Measure out your pasta.Started boiling your elbow mac or shells. Cook until al dente. Nobody likes mushy mac.In saucepan, melt your margarine over medium heat. Don't let it burn! Mix in the flour and your salt and cayenne (nice spice for the tastebuds!)Add milk. Heat until the mixture starts to bubble.Now, start adding in your cheese - but not all at once!By now, your pasta should be done. Drain WELL and then add them to the sauce pan.Coat, serve and enjoy!Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MMASUCCI85.
