Ingredients
- 12 oz Gluten-free spaghetti
- 2 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder

Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gluten-free spaghetti and cook according to package instructions or until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the gluten-free flour and stir continuously to form a roux, cooking for about 1 minute.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the whole milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the shredded cheddar cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir gently until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 5
Season the cheese sauce with salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
Step 6
Add the cooked gluten-free spaghetti to the cheese sauce, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly.
Step 7
Serve the gluten-free cheesy spaghetti hot, garnished with the chopped fresh parsley.
