how do you cook a cheese sauce that u can make w/ noodles to make a pasta?

Answer 1

heat it up in a sauce pan on the stove

Answer 2

Fettuccine Alfredo

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
5 Tbs. unsalted butter
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Freshly grated nutmeg
1 lb. homemade tagliatelle or purchased fresh fettuccine

In a large saucepan over high heat, bring the cream and butter to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 1 minute. Add 6 Tbs. of the cheese and whisk until smooth, about 1 minute more. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper and a generous pinch of nutmeg. (Be judicious with the salt. Parmigiano-Reggiano is salty, so too much added salt will throw this creamy, sweet sauce out of balance.)

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Generously salt the boiling water, add the pasta and cook until al dente (tender but firm to the bite), 1 to 3 minutes, depending on the freshness of the pasta. Drain the pasta well.

Put the pasta in a warmed large, shallow bowl. Pour on the sauce, sprinkle with 6 Tbs. of the cheese and toss well. Serve immediately. Pass the remaining cheese at the table. Serves 4 as a main course, 6 as a first course.

Answer 3

Here's my cheese sauce recipe that I mix with penne to make my version of macaroni and cheese (sorry, but I estimate the proportions :)

melt a couple tablespoons butter or margerine in a pan. Cook 1/2 c. diced onion in the margerine until translucent. Sprinkle a tablespoon flour over the mixture and stir to make a paste. Allow to cook one minute but make sure does not brown (keep stirring so it doesn't burn at the bottom of the pan). Wisk in a couple of cups milk and continue to wisk until thickened, like alfredo sauce. Add a couple cups shredded cheese (I like cheddar but I've also used swiss, havarti, mozarella, marble). Add one pinch (1/8 tsp if you're measuring) cayenne pepper and 1/2 tsp paprika for colour. Finish stirring together and add cooked pasta.

If you want to make baked macaroni or ziti, top with bread crumbs and bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 - 30 minutes, or until top crust is bubbly.

Answer 4

You can do it like your number 2 answer, but remember that for every tablespoon of butter use equal flour......or your screwed.

Or just take a can of cheddar cheese soup and heat and add velvetta chunks and some milk to smooth, faster, easier and fool proof.
