If you want to stick with a more classic sauce though, choose medium-hard cheeses like cheddar, gouda, and fontina. OnceВ the pasta is tender add 1 cup freshly shredded cheese then stir until the sauce is smooth, adding in a splash of skim milk if you need it. See how thick the skim milk gets by stirring with the starches released from the pasta? Turn the heat to medium then stir constantly until the milk comes to a simmer (mine took about 12 minutes.) Turn the heat down to low then stir constantly until the pasta is tender, another 12 minutes or so.Д«e sure to stick to low heat because if the milk cooks off too quickly there wonвЂ™t be enough left to cook the pasta.
