Broccoli and Pasta with Cheese Sauce

This is one dish I have experiment for a few times and only got it right (according to my taste) on my 4th try. To be exact, it was the cheese sauce that I was working on.

If anyone of you had been to Long John Slivers, you will know the Cheese sauce that comes with the chips. I was trying my luck to do that. No, I didn't achieve that but I'm still trying BUT this is not too bad either *thick-skin*.

In the first place, the cheese I used is not the correct one. I used Kraft Cheddar but the LJS's cheese tasted more like La vache qui rit (laughing cow) Cheddar cheese.

Nevertheless, this goes well with the broccoli I love so much. I cooked some pasta too and it's a meal for me already.

Ingredients:

• Pasta, cooked according to package
• Broccoli, cut into florets and blanched with 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil

Cheese Sauce: (about 3 servings)

• 50g Butter
• 80g Cheese, shredded (I used Kraft (block) Cheddar)
• 150ml Milk (I used fresh milk)
• 2 tablespoon Flour

How to do it:

• Set cooked pasta and blanched broccoli aside.
• In a pot, melt the butter on low heat.
• Gradually add in the flour while whisking.
• Once the flour is while blended into the butter, whisk in the milk gradually.
• Bring to a boil.
• Whisk in the cheese till it melts.
• Add the desirable amount of cheese sauce to the pasta and broccoli.
• Toss and serve with additional Parmesan Cheese.

Note: If you find the sauce too thick to your liking, add in more milk.
