Cook pasta according to package. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium saucepan, melt margarine. Stir in flour. Gradually, stir in milk. Cook, stirring constantly over medium heat, until sauce thickens. Stir in salt and pepper. Add cheese; stir until cheese melts. Stir cheese sauce into elbow macaroni. Spoon into a greased (I use nonstick spray) 8x8 baking dish. Bake 30 minutes.
