Salt & Pepper - Always season to please your taste buds. Garlic Powder - We like using a bit of garlic powder in just about everything. Yellow Mustard - You can't taste the mustard in the sauce but it enhances the natural flavors of the cheese and butter Whole Milk - I like to use a combination of the two milks for the best texture in the sauce.

Whichever type of pasta you choose you will want to boil it for about 25%-33% of the cooking time on the package directions.īutter - We only buy salted butter in our house so that is what we use in all of our recipes. Shells and rotini are other great choices.
