Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add the jalapeno and green onions and saute for 5 minutes, stirring often.
  2. Whisk in the flour and continue to cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring often.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and whole milk and whisk together. Add cheese, 1 cup at a time, until melted, stirring well after each addition.  Let cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring often.
  4. Meanwhile, cook 1/2 pound of pasta according to package instructions.  Generously salt the water to ensure the pasta is well seasoned.  Once pasta is done cooking, drain well, and combine with cheese sauce. 
  5. Serve immediately while warm.
