Mac & Cheese Sauce

A roux-based cheddar sauce for macaroni, thinned with broth.

prep 5 minutes cook 15 minutes serves 2

My note: from this Reddit thread. This was a bit much for 225 g of orecchiette — I only used ¾ cup of broth.

Preparation

  1. Melt the butter and whisk in the flour to make a roux.
  2. Gradually whisk in the milk and broth, and bring to a gentle simmer until thickened.
  3. Off the heat, stir in the cheddar until melted, then season with garlic powder, paprika, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste.

Consider not mixing all the sauce into the pasta at once.
