Easy and versitile mac and cheese recipe. I adapted this from a recipe I found on the back of a box of elbows. I especially like that you don't cook the pasta in advance.

- Note: For a cheesier version put in a casserole dish and top with an additional 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and broil until cheese is melted and just starting to brown.
- For an Italian twist try substituting the Cheddar cheese with 1 Cup fontina cheese and 1/2 Cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese.
