Christina Page
Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1¼ c whole milk (heated)
-
1 scoop Levels Unflavored Whey Protein
1/2 cup grated white cheddar
1 box chickpea pasta
Salt + Pepper to taste
Directions
Shake the milk + protein and heat slowly. Warm the milk on low heat just until little bubbles begin to form at the edges. Then remove from heat.
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste cooks and bubbles a bit — about 2 minutes.
Add the hot milk, continuing to stir as the sauce thickens. Bring it to a boil.
Add salt and pepper to taste, lower the heat, and cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes more.
Stir in cheddar cheese during the last 2 minutes of cooking
Add pinch of cayenne pepper.
Toss pasta until fully coated
Recipe Note
Add a protein of your choice on top to round out the meal!
