Servings: 5
Cost: $9.00
Equipment
- small bowl
- 1 2 quart saucepan
- 1 Large pasta pot
- 1 grater
- 1 2 cup Measuring cup
Ingredients
- 1 box 12 ounces Barilla Gluten Free Elbows
- 2.25 cups Fairlife Lactose Free Milk
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 200 grams grated lactose free cheddar cheese
- 58 grams aged parmesan cheese
- 6 slices lactose free american cheese
- to taste freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Grate Parmesan and Cheddar cheese and put in a bowl
- Fill a pasta pot with water and 2 TBSP of salt. Heat to a boil.
- While the pasta water begins to come to a boil, take the two quart sauce pan and add the lactose free milk to it. Heat the milk on medium heat. Add the corn starch to the milk and begin to stir as the milk heats up.
- As the corn starch begins to thicken the milk, add the grated cheese and combine until it melts. Keep the temperature of the pan down so the milk does not scorch. Whisk the cheese and the milk together until smooth.
- Once the pasta water boils, add the pasta and cook to the package directions.
- While the pasta is cooking, add the slices of american cheese to the cheese sauce. I cut them into quarters for ease in combining and melting.
- Once the cheese sauce is done, I pour it gently into the serving bowl for the pasta.
- Once the elbow pasta has completed cooking, drain in a collander and add to the pasta bowl with cheese sauce. Add freshly ground pepper and mix to combine.
