Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Noodles

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the cavatappi noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Make the Mornay Sauce

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes until golden brown. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the Cheeses

    Remove the pot from heat and stir in the cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan cheeses until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Combine Noodles and Sauce

    Add the cooked cavatappi noodles to the cheese sauce and stir until well coated.

  5. 5

    Serve
