Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz pasta
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 2 Cups whole milk
  • 1 cup parmesan
  • salt to taste

Toppings

  • Panko
  • McCormick Roasted Garlic and Herb Spice

Instructions
 

  • Pre heat your milk in the microwave for 45 seconds.

Prepare the sauce

  • Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat and let it heat until it becomes foamy.
  • Sauté the garlic in the butter for a minute. This will make your house smell amazing.
  • Add flour and stir vigorously. Cook it for a minute while stirring constantly
  • Slowly add warmed milk to the butter mixture 1/4 cup at a time. Whisk it continually until combined. 
  • Once all of the milk is added, cook it for a minute or two while stirring it. Do not let it boil. The sauce is ready for the cheese when you rub a small amount between your fingers and it feels silky.
  • Remove from heat and gradually add your cheese a little at a time.
  • Once the cheese is incorporated, use a cooked noodle to taste your sauce. If it doesn’t taste cheesy enough try adding a little salt to bring out the flavor.
  • Combine the noodles and sauce.
  • Garnish with breadcrumbs and roasted garlic and herb spice.
