Ok here's the deal: You are at home and hungry for food. You have to cook up something scrumptious for you and your boyfriend/ girlfriend/ spouse/ child/ friend, but the ingredients you have on hand are limited.

You have cheddar cheese, fresh thyme, and all-purpose flour. Using these ingredients, along with whatever staples you currently have in your cupboard and refrigerator, what would you make? [1] Tell me in the comments section below!

To see what I would make,

1. I would start by finely chopping an onion and garlic.
2. I would add this to a pot with melted butter, heating over medium heat.
3. I would sauté the veggies until tender, then add the flour and cook to make a roux [2].
4. Meanwhile I would boil whatever kind of pasta I have on hand, and grate the cheese and chop the thyme.
5. After the roux has cooked for a few minutes, I would add liquid (chicken broth, milk, or heavy cream, depending on what's open in my fridge) to thicken the sauce. I would boil this a minute and slowly stir in the cheese and thyme.
6. I would toss with the pasta and call it pasta and cheese. I would enjoy it in a shallow bowl paired with a cold beer.
