Mozzarella Mac & Cheese

I found this recipe online and we loved the change from the traditional mac & cheese. The trick to making it super creamy and cheesy is to use mozzarella made with whole milk. It's a little harder to find than the ones made with low fat milk but it's so worth it! -Sarah

2 cups small noodles (like elbow or small shells)

2 T. butter

2 T. flour

1 t. salt

1 t. basil 

1/2 t. garlic powder

1/2 t. onion powder

2 cups milk

8 oz. shredded mozzarella (whole milk, low-moisture) 

• Cook noodles and drain.
• In a skillet melt butter, whisk in flour, salt, and seasonings. Cook 2-3 minutes until golden brown, stirring constantly and being careful not to burn.
• Add milk slowly, whisking to combine with flour mixture. 
• Bring to a boil, sauce will thicken slightly, and remove from heat.
• Stir in noodles and cheese until cheese is melted.
