Instructions

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp flour and ½ cup milk until completely smooth.

Turn on the burner to medium-low and melt 1 tbsp butter in a medium nonstick skillet.

Add flour mixture to skillet, stir, then add the remaining milk.

Turn skillet up to medium and heat for 7-10 minutes until sauce mixture is thickened, whisking constantly. If flour begins to stick to bottom remove from heat and turn it down before returning to heat. You will know your sauce is done when it resembles a cream.

Turn the heat off, stir in the cheese, and seasonings (sea salt, black pepper, garlic). Whisk until all the cheese is melted and a smooth creamy sauce is achieved.

Pour sauce on top of cooked pasta and mix until well combined, enjoy!
