Power boost for sports: macaroni and cheese

Ingredients:

1/2 pound of pasta

2 tbs butter

2 tbs flour

1 1/2 cups milk

1 1/2 cups grated cheese

Boil the pasta according to the instructions on the bag. Drain out any excess water and set aside. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it bubbles. Whisk in the flour for  1-2 minutes until the mixture turns golden. Whisk in the milk until combined well. Cook 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is thick.  Stir in cream cheese until melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the grated cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup at a time, until melted.

Pasta is a good boost of energy because it contains both complex carbohydrates and a moderate amount of protein. Carbohydrates make glucose, which is crucial fuel for your brain and muscles. It also contains vitamins and minerals that are necessary for everyday life, these include iron and several B-vitamins. Also, pasta is low in sodium and cholesterol-free.
