Step 1: Boil the elbows.
Fill water in a pot and place it on a stove top to boil.

Once the elbows are fully boiled place a colander in the sink and drain all the pasta.
Be careful, it will be hot! Set aside.
Shake the colander around to dry the pasta off.
You may need to even toss it as well. -

The mixture should be watery like a liquid. , Once the flour has dissolved well in the melted butter slowly pour the milk and cream.
Continue to stir with a whisk until the liquid is white. , The most important and crucial ingredient of all for this macaroni recipe, cheese! Pour the shredded cheddar cheese 1/2 cup at a time.
