This ones for you John! 😉
This is a fail proof, and effortless recipe for a smooth and tasty cheese sauce, which is great on Tortellini pasta and in Lasagna.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tabelspoon plain flour
- 1 1/2 – 2 cups of 2% milk (extra to thin if needed)
- 1 cup of diced cheese (Red Leicester cheese makes the sauce a nice rich colour)
- 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese (optional)
- grated nutmeg to taste (optional)
- Place the butter, flour and milk into a pan and heat stirring all the time
- When its almost boiling, and thick and creamy (add more milk if too thick) stir in the cubed cheese
- Grate in a little nutmeg
- Continue to stir until the cheese has melted completely
- Serve immediately
Note: The sauce can be made in advance but will form a skin when cooling if not covered, so transfer the sauce to a small microwavable bowl, cover with cling film so that the cling film makes contact with ALL the surface of the cheese sauce and then when ready to serve, microwave the sauce, still covered until hot, stirring occasionally *** Do not boil, as this will make the sauce runny.
