Ingredients (2 Adults + 1 Child)/Prep
200-230g Elbows or Macaroni/Boil with some salt then drain.
250-300g Cheese(I used mixed Shredded Parmesan & Cheddar this time, bought at Cold Storage)
500-600ml Fresh Full Cream Milk(Add or lessen when necessary)
100g Butter/Divide to 40g/60g
30g Plain Flour
80g Bread or Cracker(Khong Guan Plain) Crumbs
2 cloves Garlic/Mash and dice
Few leaves of Basil/Wash thoroughly then mince.
Dashes of Ground Black Pepper(or Sweet Paprika powder)

Cook
1. In a sauce pan using small heat, add the 40g butter and brown the diced garlic.
2. Using a fork, stir in the plain flour.
3. When the flour has soaked in all the melted butter, stir in the fresh milk. Using the fork, keeps stirring constantly.
4. When the milk starts to simmer, add in the cheese and stir till all melted.
5. Add in the minced basil and ground black pepper then mix well. Remove from heat and set aside.
6. Place the boiled macaroni/elbows in the casserole, pour the cheese sauce over. Use the fork to mix well.
7. In a small frying pan, melt the other 60g butter then brown the bread crumbs until crispy.
8. Layer the fried bread crumbs on the macaroni, bake in oven at 180degC for about 35-40minutes. Serve while it's warm.

Remarks
: If desired, add veggies such as peas or capsicum. Dice the veggie and add to cook after the fresh milk has been added.
