I do my mac & cheese using whole wheat pasta, whole wheat pastry flour
in my cheese sauce and as sharp a cheddar as I can get. I also put a
good squirt of spicy brown mustard in the cheese sauce, not your
ordinary maac & cheese but one that disappears fast. Also, when making
it for family consumption, I'll cook the elbows (sometimes other pasta),
drain and put them in a microwave safe bowl & cover it. Then I'll do the
cheese sauce in the same pot, add it to the pasta, stir to combine and
put it in the microwave for a couple of minutes to equalise the
temperatures. It doesn't take but a couple of minutes longer to do than
the boxed stuff but the taste is far superior.
