This White Mac and Cheese will soothe your cheese-lovin’ soul with its rich and creamy cheddar-Fontina cheese sauce, tender pasta, and quick prep time. This is what to make when you’re craving some cheesy pasta comfort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 ounces rotini pasta
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 8 ounces Fontina cheese, shredded
  • 8 ounces white cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the pasta following package instructions. Combine the cornstarch, flour, garlic powder, ground mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
  2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour mixture and stir until smooth. Cook the mixture for a minute or so.
  3. Slowly add the milk while whisking continuously. There should be no lumps. If lumps form, stop adding the milk and whisk to remove them before adding the rest of the milk.
  4. Heat the mixture for a few minutes and then add the shredded cheese in small batches, stirring with a rubber spatula until the cheese is melted.
  5. Add the cooked pasta and stir to coat it in the sauce. Garnish with parsley.
