Macaroni and Cheese

This recipe is from my best friend Whitney's grandmother Pauline. It's simple, but delicious. It only calls for cheese, milk, pasta and butter  I've even left out the butter a few times and it's still delicious. 

Ingredients:

Elbow macaroni (1/2 cup dry per person)

Sharp cheddar cheese

Milk

Butter

Instructions:

Boil pasta until almost done.  Strain water and return pasta to pot. Turn burner to low.  Add milk to pasta, just until you can see the milk, but without covering the pasta. Add 1-2 tablespoons of butter. DO NOT BOIL MILK. Keep heat on low for the rest of the time. Once milk starts to simmer, slowly stir in a handful at a time of shredded cheese. Wait until cheese melts before adding more.  Taste sauce and add more cheese as desired. Simmer until sauce thickens.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
