Panera Mac & Cheese

Ingredients
 

  • 1 lb 16 oz of pasta shells
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 4 tsp. flour possibly a little more if it is not thickening
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 4 oz. white American cheese chopped
  • 1 c. shredded extra-sharp white Vermont cheddar
  • Salt for water

Instructions

  • Bring salted water to boil. Prepare pasta according to package directions, al dente.
  • Melt butter and slowly whisk in flour and cook 1 minute, whisking constantly.
  • Slowly whisk in milk (don't pour in all at once, you won't get the same consistency- trust me). Cook over medium heat, whisking until mixture thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat.
  • Add both cheese stirring until fully melted and incorporated.
  • Add pasta to sauce. Continue cooking for about 1 minute. If the sauce seems to thick, you can always add a little bit of the pasta water.
