Craig's Macaroni and Cheese

Well, I'm not sure who this Craig guy is, but his name is on the recipe, and it's a pretty good recipe. I love cheese, but I've always thought Macaroni and Cheese could be a bit bland at times. This one, though, is pretty good. It's got enough onions in it, so that it almost tastes like French Onion Soup.

8 ounces macaroni (or in this case cavatappi)
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 cup flour
1 1/3 cup milk
6 ounces mature cheddar, shredded (I mixed Dubliner and cheddar, since I only had 3 ounces of cheddar)
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
1 shredder (not really an ingredient, but I didn't actually own one.)

Cook pasta in boiling water.
Heat butter in pan and gently cook onion and garlic for 5 minutes.
Stir flour and milk into pan, and blend into onion and garlic.
Whisk to make into smooth sauce and bring to a boil.
Add 4 ounces of cheese and the mustard.
Heat gently for a couple of minutes.
Drain pasta, add to pan, and mix well.
Transfer to casserole dish.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
Broil in onion for about five minutes until golden and bubbling.

Like I said, it was very tasty, and I have a whole lot left over for tomorrow night. Kudos, Craig!
