Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Boil the Pasta in salted water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, whisk in the flour, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Slowly stream in the milk while whisking constantly until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and stir in the Cheese Sauce cheeses until fully melted and glossy, then fold in the cooked pasta until evenly coated.
