OK so I am not gonna give exact measurments b/c I just kinda do it...
start by sauteeing (sp?) 2 tbsp margerine and some garlic for a couple minutes. Then add 2tbsp flour (she uses wheat flour). Meanwhile have your noodles boiling. Then add milk about 1/4 cup at a time while letting it thicken a little until you have added a cup. Add in about 3/4 cup or so grated cheese while you are adding the milk (you can sub any other cheese, I made it with part skim ricotta this time and it was soooo yummy) I also added a few slices of american cheese. It should start to be pretty thick. Then add salt and pepper and paprika, like a tsp each or just to taste. She also adds 1/4 cup shredded parmesean. So then mix with your drained cooked noodles. Eat and enjoy. OR put into little containers and freeze.
I hope your LO's like it.
