Directions

  1. Bring water to a boil. Cook the noodles till al dente and strain.
  2. In a small sauce pot, melt the butter and add flour.
  3. Cook while stirring for about two minutes until the flour and butter mixture has a little color.
  4. Add the milk and whisk to prevent clumps.
  5. Bring the milk to a boil let it thicken.
  6. Add the cheddar cheese to melt and then combine with the pasta.
  7. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer into oven-safe pan/dish and place in oven to bake and crisp the top.
  8. Season the rack and place on grill meat-side up. They’re done when the meat has shrunk back from the ends of the bone to expose it and the meat’s internal temperature reaches 190 F. Slice into 2-rib portions.
  9. Serve ribs on top of baked mac & cheese.
