Stovetop Mac and Cheese

In small saucepan, combine milk, cheese, sodium citrate, and salt. Slowly heat to just under a simmer.

When cheese begins to melt, whisk continuously until sauce is smooth, or use stick blender.

Cook pasta in salted water (a minute or two less than package directions), then drain.

Stir cheese sauce into pasta.

Cook on low heat for a minute or so, then let cool. Sauce will absorb into pasta and thicken as it cools.
