Macaroni à l'Italienne

Ingredients

• 12 sticks of macaroni (1/4 pound)
• 1/2 pint of milk
• 2 tablespoonfuls of cream
• 2 tablespoonfuls of butter
• 1 tablespoonfuls of flour
• salt
• white pepper
• cayenne
• 1/4 pound of cheese
• 1 tablespoonful of mustard (optional)

Instructions

Break and wash the macaroni, and boil it rapidly for twenty minutes in two quarts of water.

Put the milk on in the double boiler.

Mix the butter and flour together, and stir into the boiling milk.

Add the seasoning, cream and cheese.

Drain, and dish the macaroni.

Pour the sauce over it, and serve immediately.

One tablespoonful of mustard can be stirred into the sauce if you like.

If the sauce and macaroni are allowed to stand long after they are put together the dish will be spoiled. If they cannot be served immediately, keep both hot in separate dishes.
