Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add pasta and cook for 7-8 minutes until al dente. Drain and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 4 tablespoons of flour and cook for about one minute.

Gradually whisk in 3 cups of milk, stirring constantly for about 3-4 minutes until thickened.

Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.

Fold the cooked pasta into the cheese sauce until thoroughly coated.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer mixture to greased baking dish, top with breadcrumbs, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
