Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the trottolle macaroni according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is bubbly and golden.

  3. 3

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Cheese and Seasonings

    Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the shredded white cheddar cheese until fully melted and smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and mustard powder.

  5. 5

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked trottolle macaroni to the cheese sauce and stir until the pasta is evenly coated.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately as a warm, cheesy dish.
