Ingredients

• Butter 2 oz
• Flour 1 ½ oz
• Milk 800 ml
• Cheese colby/monterey blend 250 g
• Cheese for topping 50 g
• Pasta 300 g
• Salt ½ tsp
• Garlic powder ⅛ tsp
• Onion powder ⅛ tsp

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the pasta until just under done and drain — it finishes cooking in the oven.

2. 2

   Melt the butter, whisk in the flour, and cook the roux a minute until it smells nutty.

3. 3

   Gradually whisk in the milk; add the salt, garlic powder, and onion powder and cook until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

4. 4

   Stir in the 250g cheese off the heat until smooth, then fold through the pasta.

5. 5

   Tip into a baking dish, top with the 50g cheese, and bake at 375°F until bubbling and golden.
