Ingredients
Instructions
-
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
-
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Sprinkle the flour over the butter and garlic mixture. Whisk constantly for about 1 minute to cook the flour and form a roux.
-
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens and begins to bubble.
-
Reduce the heat to low. Add the shredded Gruyere cheese to the sauce, stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
-
Season the cheese sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Be cautious with the salt as Gruyere cheese is naturally salty.
-
Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and toss until the pasta is evenly coated.
-
Serve the Gruyere Cheese Pasta hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy the indulgent combination of creamy cheese and perfectly cooked pasta in every bite.
