Easy Mac & Cheese

Dinner tonight is simple, and this delicious addition made it complete. 

Ingredients

• 1 16 oz bag of Rotini pasta
• 4 1/4 cups of shredded blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup of shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
• 3 Tbsp canola oil (or the oil of your choice)
• 3 Tbsp all purpose flour
• 2 cups of 2% milk (fat free, almonda milk, half and half, or whole milk will work as well)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375° degrees.

Prepare the Rotini pasta according to the package directions.
In a heated medium saucepan, add the cooking oil and flour. Mix together  and continue to cook on medium heat until thickened. Add the milk and continue to cook until the sauce has thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend. Set aside to allow cheese to melt. (approx. 5 minutes) 

Add prepared Rotini pasta, two cups of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, and the extra sharp cheddar cheese into a 13" x 9" cooking pan and mix together. Stir the cheese sauce until well blended and pour over the Rotini pasta mix. Stir until well blended. Sprinkle the mix with the remaining 2 cups of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese and cook for 15 minutes or until the cheese has fully melted throughout. Enjoy with your favorite veggies!
