Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat the milk in a large saucepan until steamy. Stir in the dry pasta. Let come to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Pay attention while the macaroni is cooking, as the milk may foam up & boil over, if the milk gets too hot. Cook the macaroni for 15 minutes or until done. The macaroni should absorb almost all of the milk.

As soon as the macaroni is close to being done, melt the butter in a separate saucepan, stir in the grated cheese & black pepper. Once the cheese has melted, pour the sauce into the macaroni & milk mixture, stir to combine. Taste & add salt if needed.

Place macaroni & cheese mixture into a baking dish. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Bake for 20 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
