Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 pound gemelli pasta

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 4 tablespoons flour

  • 3 cups whole milk

  • 2 teaspoons Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix

  • 2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the butter in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to foam. Whisk in the flour until smooth and cook, whisking, for about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the milk and Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning Mix and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Fold in the cheese and stir until melted. Add the cooked pasta and mix well. Serve hot.

Cook's Note:

Substitute elbow pasta for the gemelli if desired.
