Notes

This sauce goes great with the obvious choice of pasta bring life to boring broccoli too!Pour it over broccoli and turn on the broiler on low and let it bubble and brown just a bit.

Troubleshooting: If sauce it too thin, add more cheese and mix in on low heat. If it’s too thick, add a dash of cream and a pad of butter until desired consistency is reached.

Storage: This sauce gets THICK when it’s refrigerated and will reheat just fine to its saucey self. Add it to a sauce pot or place in an over safe dish in the toaster oven until warmed through.
