Baked Macaroni & Cheese

Favourite.Recipe.Ever. This is my comfort food. I love, love, love it. I think I'm going to make it for dinner tonight. So good. 'nough said.

1 box of whole wheat pasta in your favourite shape (I'm doing mini shells tonight)
3 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
black pepper to taste
3 3/4 cups of milk
4ish cups of shredded cheddar cheese

Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

In a medium saucepan combine butter, flour and pepper to create a smooth paste. Add milk all at once. Cook while stirring over medium heat until slightly thickened and bubbly. Add cheese, stirring until melted. Stir in cooked noodles and transfer to a casserole dish. (I use my Pampered Chef deep covered baker... love that thing. Best kitchen investment I have made, with the exception of my knife set. Every mom needs a good knife set)

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Let stand for 10  minutes before serving.
