Directions
- Cook the pasta: Cook elbow macaroni according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
- Start the sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter or ghee over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 to 60 seconds, just until fragrant.
- Make the roux: Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the dairy: Slowly whisk in the milk and heavy cream until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Melt the cheese: Reduce heat to low. Stir in the cheddar and mozzarella until fully melted and smooth.
- Add Naked Broth + seasonings: Stir in Beck’s Broth Naked Broth, salt, black pepper, and optional paprika or chili flakes.
- Combine: Fold in the cooked pasta and stir until fully coated in the sauce.
- Serve: Serve warm and enjoy right away.
Notes:
- Grate your own cheese: Freshly grated cheese melts more smoothly than pre-shredded cheese and gives the best texture.
- Do not overheat: Keep the heat low once the cheese is added so the sauce stays creamy and smooth.
- Adjust the consistency: Add a splash of milk if you want a looser sauce.
- Make it your own: Add chili flakes for heat, paprika for warmth, or top with breadcrumbs if you want a little texture.
