Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the flour, and stir to combined. Stir for about 1 minute, until golden brown. Once golden, pour in 1 cup of water, and whisk until smooth. The mixture will start to thicken and as it does, pour in the remaining water and milk, continuing to stir until smooth.
- Add the pasta into the pot along with the salt, garlic and onion granules. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce heat to medium to maintain a simmer. Continue to cook until the pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes.
- Once the pasta is cooked, remove the pot from heat, and stir in the cheeses until smooth and melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
