Broccoli and Pasta with Cheese Sauce

blogger templates

This is one dish I have experiment for a few times and only got it right (according to my taste) on my 4th try. To be exact, it was the cheese sauce that I was working on.



If anyone of you had been to Long John Slivers, you will know the Cheese sauce that comes with the chips.

I was trying my luck to do that. No, I didn't achieve that but I'm still trying BUT this is not too bad either *thick-skin*.



In the first place, the cheese I used is not the correct one. I used Kraft Cheddar but the LJS's cheese tasted more like La vache qui rit (laughing cow) Cheddar cheese.




Nevertheless, this goes well with the broccoli I love so much. I cooked some pasta too and it's a meal for me already.



Ingredients:




  • Pasta, cooked according to package

  • Broccoli, cut into florets and blanched with 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil


Cheese Sauce:
(about 3 servings)



  • 50g Butter

  • 80g Cheese, shredded (I used Kraft (block) Cheddar)

  • 150ml Milk (I used fresh milk)

  • 2 tablespoon Flour


How to do it:



  • Set cooked pasta and blanched broccoli aside.

  • In a pot, melt the butter on low heat.

  • Gradually add in the flour while whisking.

  • Once the flour is while blended into the butter, whisk in the milk gradually.

  • Bring to a boil.

  • Whisk in the cheese till it melts.

  • Add the desirable amount of cheese sauce to the pasta and broccoli.

  • Toss and serve with additional Parmesan Cheese.


Note:
If you find the sauce too thick to your liking, add in more milk.
