Baked macaroni & cheese

Let’s make it.

1. Heat oven to 190°C / 375°F. Cook pasta just short of its packet timing and drain.
2. Melt butter, stir in flour and cook for one minute. Whisk in milk gradually and simmer until thickened.
3. Remove from heat and stir in most of the cheese. Add pasta and salt, then spoon into a baking dish.
4. Top with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs. Bake 15–20 minutes until golden and bubbling.
