Ingredients

Scale

300g pasta of your choice (penne, fusilli, or shells work great!)
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
Optional garnish: chopped parsley, extra cheese, red pepper flakes

Instructions

1. Sauté Garlic

In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

2. Make the Roux

Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly to create a smooth roux (paste).
Gradually whisk in the milk and vegetable broth, making sure there are no lumps.

3. Cook the Pasta

Add the uncooked pasta to the pan, ensuring it’s submerged in the liquid.
Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian herbs.
Cover and let simmer on low heat for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the sauce has thickened.

4. Add the Cheese

Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the shredded white cheddar and mozzarella until melted and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

5. Serve

Garnish with chopped parsley, extra cheese, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy!
