Ingredients

• 1/4 lb (113 g) dry elbow pasta
• 1/3-1/2 cup (80-120 ml) milk
• 1-2 (15-30 g) tablespoons butter (depending on how rich you want it)

Directions

1. Boil water and cook pasta
2. Don’t start making cheese sauce until pasta is in boiling water
3. In a cold pot, combine the milk (start with the smaller measurement above because you can add more later), cheeses, and butter
4. Start melting on medium-high heat, stirring constantly. 1. Once the sauce is totally melted and simmering, consider adding more milk if the sauce looks too thick, remembering it will thicken as it cools to eating temperature.
