Ingredients:

1/2 pound of pasta

2 tbs butter

2 tbs flour

1 1/2 cups milk

1 1/2 cups grated cheese

Boil the pasta according to the instructions on the bag. Drain out any excess water and set aside. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it bubbles. Whisk in the flour for  1-2 minutes until the mixture turns golden. Whisk in the milk until combined well. Cook 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is thick.  Stir in cream cheese until melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the grated cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup at a time, until melted.
