-
Milk3 cups (700 ml)
-
Butter3 tablespoon
-
Flour3 tablespoon
-
Pre-grated cheese2 cups (120 g)
-
Dijon mustard1 tsp
Method
-
Melt the butter in quite a large pan as you will be adding the pasta later.
-
Add the flour stir and cook for 1-2 mins on a slow heat.
-
Take the pan off the heat and add half the milk, replace the pan whisk so no lumps appear then when thickening add the rest of the milk.
-
Take off the heat add the cheese stir until it all has melted.
-
You may have to place it back on heat to insure it’s all melted but keep stirring it if you do.
-
If adding the optional mustard do so now.
The mustard really brings out the cheese and lifts the whole dish, however not so good when serving children.
