Baked Mac and Cheese

Method

1. 1

   Add butter to a pan on medium flame. Once it melts and starts to foam, add the onion and garlic and saute until fragrant. Once the onions are lightly golden, add the maida and stir constantly to prevent any burning.

   Once the raw flour smell dissipates, add in your milk little by little while constantly mixing. Add your milk only once the previous batch has been completely mixed in and is lump-free. Season the sauce with salt, nutmeg and paprika. Turn the flame off once the sauce has slightly thickened and add in the cheese while stirring. Put the sauce aside and start boiling your water to cook the pasta.
