Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz package gluten-free pasta (e.g., rice, corn, or quinoa-based)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (optional: use vegan butter for dairy-free)
  • 2 tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for thickening)
  • 2 cups whole milk (substitute almond milk for dairy-free)

  3. Stir in shredded cheeses until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Mix pasta with cheese sauce until fully coated.
