Ingredients
Instructions
-
Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
-
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
-
Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the sauce, stirring frequently, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Reduce the heat to low. Add the grated Fontina and Parmesan cheeses to the sauce, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce, tossing to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, gradually stir in the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
-
Serve the Pasta Fontina hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
