Chef's Notes
Do not rush the roux! Cooking that flour and butter together for a few minutes is the secret ritual that banishes the taste of raw flour forever.
Pro Tip
Grating your own sharp cheddar from a block rather than buying pre-shredded cheese will completely revolutionize the meltiness of your sauce because it lacks anti-caking powders.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping the heat too high when melting the cheddar, which causes the dairy fats to instantly break and separates your gorgeous velvety sauce into a greasy, oily tragedy with chewy rubber lumps.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Why did the macaroni break up with the cheese? Because it felt like their relationship was getting way too gooey and co-dependent.
The Culinary Science
Starch molecules on the surface of boiling pasta swell and release into the cooking water, which is precisely why tossing drained pasta immediately into your cheese sauce helps create a cohesive, clinging bond.
