Introduction
A rich and thick cheese sauce base for the perfect mac & cheese, utilizing high-moisture mozzarella for a neutral, melty canvas and cream cheese for a tangy, balanced body.
Step 1
Add shredded high-moisture mozzarella to the pot of warm white sauce base and whisk to melt.
Step 2
Keep some extra shredded mozzarella aside to mix in later with the pasta and sauce for an ultimate cheese pull.
Step 3
Add a generous scoop of cream cheese to the mixture to provide tanginess, acidity, and balance the sweetness of the cooked milk.
Step 4
Whisk continuously off the stove to ensure the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated, giving the sauce a thick body that will cling to the pasta.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
High-moisture mozzarella is used as a blank canvas because it melts beautifully without overpowering the flavor.
Reserve some shredded mozzarella to fold directly into the pasta and sauce later for the visual cheese pull.
Cream cheese helps cut through the sweetness of the cooked milk and adds body to the final sauce.
