How Do You Make White Cheese Sauce?
This easy sauce can be used for many different recipes, including the classic homemade macaroni and cheese. It’s good with pasta, as the base for ravioli stuffing and much more. You’ll need to start with half a recipe of basic white sauce (see related eHow). Bring about a cup and a half of basic white sauce to a simmer (for recipe, see related eHow). Make sure cheeses are at or close to room temperature. Whisk in the spices while the sauce is simmering. Remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in the cheeses one at a time, starting with the parmesan. If the sauce cools down too much for the cheeses to fully melt, return it to the heat briefly. Don’t let it come back to a simmer, or the sauce will separate. Taste and season very lightly with salt, if necessary. Remember, the cheeses are slightly salty, so you won’t need much.
