When i lacked the time, I will cook this simple recipe and Fatini really loves it. Sometimes she even asked for it. It is macaroni with white sauce. This dish is also perfect for travelling or outing as it is not messy. It can be kept in the fridge and reheated in the microwave when required.
How to prepare this simple children dish.
Boil 1 cup of macaroni until it is really soft (my children like it soft). When cooked, it fill up a medium size bowl. Then drain, rinse with water and keep aside in a closed container to maintain its softness.
While the macaroni is boiling, melt two tablespoons of butter in the pan. Once it melts, add in a tablespoon heap of white flour and stir until it makes a lumpy mixture. Add in 1 half -2 small glasses of milk and keep on stirring. Add more milk or water if the sauce is too little or too thick.
Then add cheese (any cheese will do), the amount depends on how cheesy you want it to be. I used two slices of cheese. Stir until the whole white sauce thickens and boiling. Add in a pinch of salt. Then pour the macaroni into the white sauce and heat slowly for another minute. And it's done! Pour everything in the bowl with a lid to cover. Serve when it has already cooled down a bit.
Happy trying.
