I like to make a cheese sauce by taking a little butter and flour and cooking it together for a few minutes, then whisk in some milk and melt the cheese into that. Stir the cooked, drained noodles into the cheese mixture and pour into a baking dish. Top with more cheese and breadcrumbs if you want, and bake that at 350 until the top starts to get browned.
