How do you make a very basic cheese sauce?

Question

making pasta starving moms not up so have to make me own food lol how do u make cheese sauce for pasta

Answer 1

The best way is to make a basic white sauce & add what ever cheese you like.

make a roux by:

melting 2 T. Butter

add 2 T flour until it is all combined.

Then add 2 c. warm milk slowly, whisking until smooth, it will thicken up & then you add 2 c. of whatever  shredded cheese you like. Cheddar, Parmesan, asiago, mozzarella, or a combination of any you like. stir until melted.

Answer 2

Grate cheddar cheese and toss with flour. This keeps the cheese from separating and going lumpy and will thicken the sauce.  Put a saucepan on medium heat. Alternately add a little cheese and a little milk, stirring constantly.  Add a little mustard to enhance the sharpness of the cheese. Cook until hot without boiling or scorching.

Answer 3

To expand on the Velveeta answer, cut a portion of Velveeta into chunks or cubes, put in microwave safe bowl with a little milk and microwave on low, stirring every 30 seconds or 1 minute until smooth and melted.

You can also use any grated cheese (or grate your own), but it won't be quite as good as Velveeta.

Good luck!

Answer 7

Start by adding butter to a saucepan on med low heat and melt it. Add equal part flour to the pan and cook the flour for about 2-3 minutes. Add your cream, bring to a boil, and let simmer until thickened to your liking. Season to taste with salt, white pepper and a dash of nutmeg. Turn heat off and add your cheese. Stir until cheese melts.
