At Target this week I treated myself to some delicious, fancy, & expensive cheeses. I bought some smoked gouda and creamy havarti. I used some of it in my Fancy Grilled Cheese and then I used more of it in a broccoli cheese pasta that I invented myself. However, it didn't go well enough for me to share the recipe with anyone. I tried to make a cheese sauce......and it failed pretty epicly. My boyfriend and I ate it anyway (with sundried tomatoes! Lately I've been throwing them in to everything I can) and it tasted pretty good. But all I'll do is show you a picture:
*Please note how it looks like there is no cheese in the bowl. This is because instead of being a sauce that coated everything as I had planned, the cheese stayed in chunks that are hidden in that shot.
I also made Incredibly Delicious Cheese Garlic Bread to go with it that certainly did not fail. It was indeed incredibly delicious. Though after making it, I think calling it "Cheese Garlic Butter Bread" is a more fitting name. I ate the leftovers for my lunch today. No, not the pasta leftovers. The garlic bread leftovers.
Behold!:
Cheese sauce is tricky; it wants to separate. Check out more recipes and cookbooks and see if the cook says something about how to make it stay together.
