Cheese Sauce

This is a really simple cheese sauce that you can use to top any pasta dish with ( can be used even in your lasagna) or simply eat it with plain pasta for a delicious and atrociously simple meal.I love eating it with any kind of pasta or spaghetti but its awesome with the rotini( mix of spinach ,tomato and plain).

Butter - 2 Tbl
Flour - 1Tbl
Heavy Cream -1/8  pint
Mozzarella - 2 cups (shreaded)
Parmesan  - 1 cup


Powder:
Salt - 2tsp
Pepper Powder - 1 Tbl


How to :
  1. Melt Butter in a pan  (make sure it does not brown).
  2. Add the flour and just fry for about 2 min ( Don't leave it for too long or the burnt smell of flour will propogate throughout the recipe)
  3. Add the cream and bring to boil.
  4. Add the Mozerella  and allow it melt.
  5. Now remove from fire add the salt and pepper.
  6. Top with the pamesan cheese.
  7. Server hot with any pasta or spaghetti.

Variations : 
  1. Use maragarine instead of butter.
  2. Use  whole milk and avoid cream but you have to add about 1 and 1/2 cups of milk and allow to reduce.
  3. Use a sharp or medium  chedder instead of  mozzarella. Use a mix of both.
  4. Add  1 tsp oregano  and reduce pepper to 1/2 Tbl.
