Instructions
Boil water in a pot and add salt.
Add the macaroni to the boiling water and cook al dente (do not overcook) for about 6-7 minutes.
While the pasta is cooking, grate the cheddar and mozzarella cheese and prepare the pasta sauce.
Preheat a frying pan, add the butter, and melt it on low heat.
Add the flour and cook over medium-low heat for one minute, stirring constantly.
Slowly add milk, stirring constantly and cook for 4-5 minutes until the sauce is smooth and slightly thick.
Add ¾ of the grated cheese to the sauce and stir until the cheese is melted.
Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
Drain the pasta and put it in the sauce.
Stir, and mix the pasta with the sauce.
Transfer the pasta to a baking dish, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and bake in a preheated oven at 360F (180C) for 15 minutes or until golden.
Remove from the oven and serve hot.
