Ingredients

3 cups cooked pasta
1 cups shredded cheddar cheese I used @traderjoes unexpected cheddar
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp all purpose regular or gluten free flour OR 1 tsp tapioca flour you can skip this if needed but the cheese sauce won’t be as thick
1 cup milk
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Kosher salt
Black pepper
Red chili flakes optional
Steamed broccoli optional

Instructions

Cook pasta according to package. Tips: generously salt your pasta water and do NOT rinse your pasta.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter down then add the flour and whisk to combine.
Add the milk, continuing to whisk, until combined and brought to a simmer. Then add in your cheese until melted and whisked smooth.
Remove the pan from heat and mix in cooked pasta. Stir in the broccoli and seasonings to taste.

Notes

For a thinner sauce, add more milk. For a thicker sauce, add more cheese.
