    This is how I make it:

    You cook up the macaroni pasta thingys (obviously) then for the sauce this is what I do:
    *Heat a tin of Tomato supreme in a saucepan (you can find it near the pasta sauces in the supermarket.) It only takes a few minutes usually.
    *In another saucepan, mix about one quarter of a cup of milk and some plastic cheese (something like Kraft singles, about 3 or 4 slices). Make sure the milk is quite hot then break up the cheese into small bits and stir it till it is fully melted in. It should go a little big thick, but not too thick. You can put a tiny amount of flour in to make it more thick if its too runny. Dont let it boil too much because then it curdles.
    *When the cheese is totally melted into the milk, mix it in with the heated tomoato supreme. Heat it for a few more minutes and make sure it is fully combined.
    *Drain the cooked macaroni pasta thingys and mix the sauce in with them.

    Thats how I make it and I reckon its pretty easy. I havent stuffed it up badly yet.
