Directions
Bring a big pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until it’s tender. While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour to make a smooth paste. Slowly whisk in the milk, then add the garlic and a splash of hot sauce, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens up nicely. Take the sauce off the heat and mix in the cheese until it’s melted and creamy. Drain the pasta well, then toss it with the sauce. Serve it up warm and enjoy!
Perfect Pairings
Serve with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness. A sprinkle of fresh parsley or cracked black pepper on top adds a fresh, bright touch. Garlic bread on the side makes it even more indulgent.
Refrigeration Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk or cream to bring back the creamy texture. Avoid microwave reheating without stirring, as it can cause the sauce to separate.
