Stovetop Mac and Cheese

This recipe is so easy and yummy. Sometimes you just need mac and cheese and this is so much better than mac and cheese out of a box. I've used non-fat milk and it still tastes great.

Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni
1 cup 1% low-fat milk
2 Tb. all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain.
2. Combine milk and flour in a medium saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Cook over medium heat 2 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly with a whisk. Add cheese, salt, and pepper, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Add pasta; toss to coat. Let stand 4 minutes.
