Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Add the pasta and cook 2 minutes less than the package directs. Drain and set aside.
In a large oven-safe skillet (if you don't have a skillet that goes in the oven you can transfer your mac and cheese to a baking dish in a bit), melt the butter and whisk in the flour.
Add the milk, salt and pepper and cook over medium heat 5 minutes then add the tomatoes and stir to combine.
Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until it melts. Stir in the cooked pasta.
If transferring to a baking dish, spray the dish with non-stick spray. If not, transfer your skillet to the oven and top with the shredded cheese and bread crumbs, if desired.
Bake until golden and bubbly--about 35-40 minutes. Serve warm.
