Instructions

so that the cheese is coated, set aside. The cornstarch will help the cheese from getting too stringy.
Heat 2 quarts of water with a tablespoon of salt to a rolling boil in thick-bottomed saucepan. Add 2 cups of elbow macaroni and follow the cooking time instructions on the package, minus about 2 minutes. (If your macaroni doesn't come with instructions, start checking at 7 minutes). Cook until al dente—cooked through, but still slightly firm. Drain the pasta.
Melt 2 Tbsp butter in a large saucepan on medium heat. Whisk in 2 Tbsp flour. Let cook for about a minute. Slowly dribble in 1 1/4 cups milk, while whisking (to avoid clumping) until the sauce is smooth. Slowly add the grated cheese, whisking until smooth. Stir in the lemon juice. If the macaroni isn't ready yet, lower the heat to a level just high enough to keep the sauce warm.
Stir to combine. Do not over-mix. Sprinkle with some freshly grated black pepper. Serve immediately.
