Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free spaghetti
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free spaghetti and cook according to package instructions or until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the gluten-free flour and stir continuously to form a roux, cooking for about 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in the whole milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir gently until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season the cheese sauce with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Add the cooked gluten-free spaghetti to the cheese sauce, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly.
Serve the gluten-free cheesy spaghetti hot, garnished with the chopped fresh parsley.
