- When butter begins to bubble, add tablespoon of flour, stir and cook until mixture starts darkening

- Gently stir in 1 cup of milk, allow to simmer a few minutes as mixture thickens
- Add Barbaro Mojo, mustard, and pepper flakes.
- Slowly start adding cheese, one handful at a time, stirring until all cheese is melted for each handful of cheese.
- Continue adding cheese until all grated cheese is added to the pot
- When all cheese is melted, dump the drained macaroni pasta into the pot and stir in evenly
- Pour macaroni and cheese into suitable baking dish and bake for 40 minutes in the 375F preheated oven.
- Serve when cool enough to eat
