Vitamix Macaroni with Cheese Sauce

2 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
1/4 cup (30g) all purpose flour
1/4 cup + 1 teaspoon butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 cup milk
1 cup cheddar cheese (115 g)
Pepper
Paprika
Dash of cayenne

1) Cook macaroni as directed on package. Drain.

2) Spray or rub an 8x8 inch baking dish with oil or butter. Then add macaroni to the dish.

3) Place butter, flour, salt, and milk into the Vitamix in that order and secure lid.

4) Select Variable 1.

5) Turn machine on and slowly increase speed to Variable 10, then to High.

6) Blend for 3-4 minutes or until heavy steam escapes through the lid opening. As mixture thickens, it will not splash as much.

7) Remove the lid plug and add cheese, pepper, paprika, and cayenne through the lid opening. Blend for 1 minute.

8) Pour over macaroni and mix thoroughly.

9) You can either serve it like this, or make a breadcrumb mixture to put on top and broil in the oven.
