Cheese Sauce

I got this from another cousin, Cami! She uses this with Penne Pasta, or on top of broccoli, or even on fish! I just used a shell pasta, because that's what I had! My cousin also suggests that after the sauce is made and you've poured it on your pasta, if you put the pasta in an oven safe dish she sticks it in the oven at 400 for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is slightly browned. I didn't do that with mine, but thought I'd pass on the tip!

2 T butter or margarine
2 T flour
Dash pepper
Dash salt
1 1/2 c milk
1 1/2 c shredded cheese (start with less and add till it's what you want)

Melt the butter in a sauce pan, then add the flour and salt and pepper. Cook and stir for a minute or two, then add the milk all at once. Turn the heat up to medium high, and stir frequently. Cook until bubbly, plus one minute more. Remove from heat, and add the cheese and stir. You may want to add more salt to taste.
