method
1 Preheat the oven to 180ºC/ 350ºF/ Gas mark 4.
2 Cook the pasta and then refresh by running under cold water to stop the cooking process.

4 Heat a pan until very hot with a little oil and add the butter just before you add the mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms until nutty brown.
5 In another pan melt the butter and add the flour. Cook for a minute or so.
6 Add the milk gradually and stir.
7 Once all the milk is added and you have brought the sauce to the boil, remove from the heat and add the cheddar/ gruyère and allow it to melt into the sauce. Taste and add extra cheese if desired. Season with salt and pepper.
8 Mix the pasta with the sauce, the raw, thinly sliced leeks and cooked mushrooms.

I personally don't like adding anything "funny" to my macaroni cheese.
Boil the macaroni for half the time it says on the packet to cook. Drain
Mix some milk (about a pint) and a knob of butter in a saucepan, once the butter has melted stir in some plain flour to make a white sauce. Add a couple of handfuls of grated cheddar cheese as you like, melt it.
Put the macaroni in a casserole dish, stir in the cheese sauce, sprinkle some grated cheese on top. Bake in the oven for 20/30 minutes at 180 degrees C.

EXTRA TASTY MAC CHEESE
Boil the macaroni with peeled and chopped onions til soft.
Meanwhile make a bechamel sauce by stirring equal weight of butter and corn flour (starch in US) over a gentle heat. About 1 ounce of each will make use about 3/4 pnt (1pnt US) milk. pour in the milk and stir like crazy to stop lumps forming.
Add about 1/2 pound grated cheddar cheese. Keep stirring over heat til cheese has melted into the sauce.
Add a drained tin of tomatoes to the cooked macaroni and onion.
Pour the sauce into the macaroni mixture and stir it well.
If you want to serve it later, grate more cheddar on top and reheat in oven at 180C/350F til the chees on op is bubbly and golden and whole dish has heated through.
Nice with salad for supper.
If by any chance the sauce goes lumpy, use one of those wand blenders in the saucepan and just blast it til it's smooth. If you have a jug blender, you'll have to tip the sauce in and it makes more washing up.

Well you can take some of the maccoroni noodles at the store, and by cheddar and american cheese. Then you can melt the cheese so it is warm. (Both kinds together). Add flour and milk to the cheese and mix it well! And then mix it with the maccaroni (after it has been cooked!). Then put it in a dish and put bread crumbs on top, then put it in your oven in 250 degrees, and have it in there for 20 minutes, then you will have a yummy mac n cheese!!!!1

half fill water in a pot,add little oil and salt,bring to boiling point,then add macaroni,cook 4 about 10min until cooked (not very soft like mash),remove of stove,strain and Rance in cold water so that it does not stick when dry.
it's best for you to buy the cheese sauce,rather than making it.
Good luck.
