Cheese sauce: In a small pot melt the butter over medium heat. When melted, stir in flour until it forms a smooth paste. Gradually add milk and stir constantly until the milk is steaming. Grate or chop cheese into small pieces. Gradually add cheese and stir constantly until the cheese is melted.
Drain the macaroni with a colander. Make sure it is completely drained. Add macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir together.
