Ingredients

The following ingredients have 2 Servings
  • 2 cups cooked whole grain pasta
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese ((shredded from a block and lightly packed for measuring))
  • 1/8 tsp. dried mustard
  • 1 tbsp. whole wheat pastry flour (affiliate link) ((regular whole wheat will work, but will give a grainier texture))
  • salt to taste

Instruction

  • In a medium pot, warm the milk over medium heat. You want it hot, but not boiling.
  • Whisk in the flour. Continue whisking for 2-3 minutes to be sure it's well incorporated and doesn't settle to the bottom.
  • Whisk in the mustard.
  • Remove pot from heat and stir in the cheese. Stir until completely melted and combined. If the cheese doesn't melt enough, return pot to the stove over low to medium heat.
  • VERY IMPORTANT: Do NOT let the sauce boil. You only want the pot on the heat until the cheese is just melted. Then remove immediately.
  • Add salt to taste and pour sauce over your pasta.
