Critical Success Points

  • Cook pasta 2 minutes short of al dente.
  • Cook the roux for the full 4 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste.
  • Add cheese gradually over low heat to avoid a grainy sauce.

Safety Warnings

  • Boiling water can cause severe burns – handle with care.
  • The sauce and baked dish will be extremely hot; use oven mitts.
  • Do not leave the broiler unattended; cheese can burn quickly.
