Total Time: 15 Minutes, Servings: 6 Servings

Ingredients :
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk (2% is good too)
  • 1 pound dry mini penne pasta
  • 8 ounces of Italian blend shredded cheese (*see below to make your own blend)
  • 1/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning (I prefer McCormick Tuscan Style Italian Seasoning)

Instructions :
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, cook pasta according to package directions, to al dente. Drain pasta once it is cooked and set aside. Work on the next step while your pasta is cooking.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium sauce pan over medium heat melt butter, add flour and Italian seasoning and whisk for about 2 minutes to cook out the 'flour-y' taste. Add milk and continue to whisk occasionally, allowing the mixture to thicken. Add cheeses and whisk until fully combined.
  • Pour cheese sauce over strained pasta and stir to combine. Sauce will thickens as it sits.
  • Serve and enjoy!
