Ingredients
  

  • 16 Oz Fusilli pasta Or other medium sized pasta
  • 3 Tbsp Butter
  • 3 Tbsp Flour
  • 3 Cups Whole milk
  • 1/2 Tbsp Better than bullion Chicken flavor
  • 1 Tbsp Minced garlic
  • 1 Cup White Cheddar cheese Grated fresh
  • 3/4 Cup Parmesan Grated fresh

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

For 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. Stir in Better than Bullion
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Combine the pasta and sauce. Let it sit for 5 minutes.

Plate your Pasta

  • Give the pasta a good stir and layer it on a plate with green onions. Enjoy!
