Ingredients

  • 2 cups uncooked pasta (about 8 ounces), such as elbow macaroni, cavatappi or shells
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 cups half-and-half cream
  • 3/4 pound process cheese (Velveeta), cubed
  • Optional toppings: Fresh arugula, halved cherry tomatoes and coarsely ground pepper

Directions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain.
