Ingredients
- 2 cup Uncooked Elbow Macaroni
- 4 cloves Large Garlic, minced

- Add sliced leek along with ½ tsp of salt. Keep cooking on medium heat until they are soft and almost wilted like but not mushy.
- Add 1 cup of whole milk. Once it is warm, add cubed velveeta cheese.
- Keep stirring until the cheese is melted. The sauce should get creamier and thicker.
