Bring to a boil. Cook 10 minutes, stirring constantly, then remove from heat.
Season with salt and add your cheese, stirring slowly until the cheese has melted into the sauce.
Add your cooked macaroni to the sauce and mix together. Spoon the macaroni and cheese into an oven proof dish and sprinkle with cheese on top.
Bake in the oven for around 10 min until the cheese is golden brown on top.
