Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
This sauce appears thin at first but will thicken after it's tossed with the pasta. To reheat, add a little whole milk to restore the creamy consistency.
3 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
coarse salt
4 cups whole milk
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
3/4 lb small shell pasta or elbow macaroni
4 cups coarsely grated sharp yellow cheddar
(3/4 pound)
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium; add onion and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add flour and 1/2 tsp salt; cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is pale golden, has a slightly nutty aroma, and is the texture of cook oatmeal, about 5 minutes.
Whisking constantly, pour in 2 cups milk; add 2 more cups milk and cayenne and whisk until smooth. Cook mixture, stirring constantly along bottom of pan, until boiling, 6 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and does not feel grainy when a small amount is rubbed between two fingers, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente; drain thoroughly and return to pot. Remove sauce from heat and let cool 10 minutes. Quickly whisk in cheese, mustard, and Worcestershire. Pour cheese over pasta and stir to coat.
