Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free spaghetti
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1.5 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the gluten-free all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. This will help thicken the cheese sauce.
Step 3
Slowly pour the milk into the roux while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to cook and stir the mixture over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese has fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 5
Season the cheese sauce with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
Step 6
Add the cooked gluten-free spaghetti to the cheese sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce.
Step 7
Serve the gluten-free spaghetti hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Enjoy your creamy and delicious gluten-free meal!
