Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Pasta
  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • 3 tbsp Flour
  • 3 cups Whole Milk
  • 1 tablespoon BBQ Sauce
  • 1 cup grated Extra Sharp Cheddar
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan

Toppings

  • Pulled Pork
  • BBQ Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the pasta according to package directions.

Prepare the sauce

  • Pre heat your milk in the microwave for 45 seconds - just enough to take the chill out of it.
  • Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat and let it heat until it becomes foamy.
  • Mix in flour. 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 for a few minutes while whisking it. Do not let it boil. You will feel the sauce start to thicken. It's ready for cheese when you rub a small amount between your fingers and it feels silky.
  • Remove from heat and stir in your cheese until it's melted and mixed into the sauce. Add about a tablespoon of BBQ sauce to the cheese mixture.
  • Once the cheese is incorporated, use a cooked noodle to taste your sauce. If it doesn’t taste cheesy enough try adding a little more salt to bring out the flavor. You can add more BBQ sauce here if you need to.
  • Combine the pasta and sauce. Top with pulled pork and a drizzle of more BBQ sauce.
