Cheap And Cheesy Pasta Sauce

Published Wednesday, 23 November, 2011 by Taylor

Easy to make, cheap ingredients, great taste!

80%

Ingredients

  • Serves 4 (half ingredients to serve 2, half again to serve 1)
  • 70g Mature Cheddar Cheese (grated)
  • 2tbsp Butter
  • 2tbsp Flour
  • 500ml Milk
  • Pepper (to taste)

Method

- Melt butter in a saucepan on medium heat.

- Add flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring all the time.

- Take off the heat, add the milk a little at a time, stirring (or whisking) each time, to make smooth.

- Bring to the boil when all the milk has been added.

- Keep stirring, then turn down the heat until it's simmering.

- Cook for 2 minutes, stirring the whole time.

- Take off the heat, add cheese and stir until melted. The sauce should thicken.

- Add pepper to taste (optional)

Once you've drained your pasta, simply put the pasta back into the warm pan and add the sauce. Place back on the hob for a few minutes, stirring all the time, letting it heat up.

Serve immediately!

    Just had this with pasta for my lunch, it was lovely i really enjoyed it, i added a little chopped chorizo and ham which i cooked slighty to give the sauce a smocky tone which just made it an amazing filling lunch.

    This recipe was so easy and so yummy! I added green onions, red pepper and garlic seasoning, as well as sunflower seeds for a bit of texture. It was so good!

    Was really worried about microwaving onions but it really works. Tasted great. You can buy heinz baked beans with italian herbs already in them which helps if you don't have a cupboard full of spices.
