1/4 cup flour
1 stick butter
1 quart whole milk
2 pounds sharp cheddar
1 pound elbow macaroni (or shaped pasta), cooked and drained
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a 2quart saucepan, melt butter then incorporate flour to make roux.
ghost whisk
With a wire whisk slowly pour in milk, whisking vigorously to avoid lumps. Once milk is incorporated, sauce is made. Simmer for ten minutes to remove flour flavor. Finally fold in two pounds of grated cheddar.
Season with salt and pepper.
In a large mixing bowl (I just added the macaroni into the cheese sauce pan) combine elbow macaroni with cheese sauce. Mix well. Pour into casserole pan and bake at 350 degrees for thirty minutes or until crunchy golden brown.
Two out of three kids liked this version of macaroni and cheese and they all liked being served their flower pasta in flower pots so I will have to start doing that more often :)
Tyler's Macaroni and Cheese is my choice for Tyler Florence Fridays this week. I know it's not quite Friday yet but this is a busy food blogging week and I thought I'd get my Tyler dish posted early. Thanks for visiting :)

I love that pasta shape. I'll have to look for it in the store. Mac and cheese is always good and this recipe sounds easy.
You know in Italy we don't have this shape of pasta :it's so cute !! And I love the bluberry crumb cake !!
I have a box of those in the pantry. I think I'll make them for DD today. Thanks for sharing the recipe. :) ~~Rhonda

Adorable! I love the flower pot idea. I've never tried Tyler's (yes, we're on a first name basis, haha) recipe for mac n' cheese, but I'm lovin how simple it looks. I'll have to give it a try!
I love the pots! I'll bet my kids would like that too - I'll have to look around.
And mac and cheese is always a great dinner - and it's funny, Sabrina loves the browned tops, and Alexander doesn't!
That's such a cute idea to use the flower pots! I've had that pasta shape before and it's definitely perfect for a nice cheesy sauce.
So adorable - the flowers, the flower pots! Gotta love mac and cheese, so versatile.
I love the flower pasta shape and the little flower pots are so cute too! Great job!
Your flower pot bowls are adorable and perfect with the flower shaped pasta. Cute and clever serving idea!
This looks SOO creamily delicious and the pasta is adorable. I love the flower them with the pot bowls. Very cute!
i love the flower pots, how cute. i'm a huge fan of the fiori shape too but wagon wheel pasta is my all time favorite. i think it's funny how it all tastes the same but the shapes can make all the difference. :)
I love fun pasta shapes. It always makes something "normal" a bit more special. The pairing with the flower pot is just such a great idea.
Love your flower pot mac and cheese. This sounds delicious and easy, I will have to try it. Wish I had some cute little pots to go with it
it looks so delicious. Singapore Florist
