Categories Pasta

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

6 Tbsp butter
6 Tbsp flour
3 c milk
1 tsp cajun seasoning
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic salt or powder
6 oz grated fontina cheese

Steps:

1. In a saute pot whisk flour into melted butter. Pour milk continuously stirring. Add Cajun seasoning, pepper, garlic salt/powder. Add cheese and melt. Keep stirring! This sauce thickens up quick so feel free to add a bit more milk to thin it out a little.
2. Serve this over penne pasta with peas topped with blackened chicken or any other pasta/veggies and meat.
3. Enjoy!

Tips:

For a smoother sauce, use a blender or food processor to blend the sauce until it is completely smooth.
If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will not be as thick and creamy.
If you don't have white wine, you can use chicken broth or water instead.
To make the sauce ahead of time, prepare it up to the point of adding the cheese. Then, store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the sauce over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is heated through.
Serve the sauce over pasta, vegetables, or chicken.
