Ingredients

  • 1 box Dreamfields Rotini
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt divided (salt pasta water)
  • 2 tablespoon Cabot Unsalted Butter
  • 1 shallot minced
  • 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon King Aurthur All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk fat free if desired
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper white if desired
  • 6 ounces Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar shredded (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 2 cups steamed broccoli
  • 1 cup smoked ham cubed

Directions

  1. Prepare pasta according to package directions. Return to pan.
  2. Meanwhile, for roux melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallot; cook and stir1 to 2 minutes until shallot is slightly softened. Sprinkle flour over shallot; stir to dissolve flour into butter. Whisk in milk and continue whisking until all of flour is incorporated into milk. Scrape along edges of the saucepan with heat-proof spatula to make sure no roux remains in the corners. Whisk in Dijon, garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Whisking constantly, increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes, whisking constantly. Remove sauce from heat. Stir in Cheddar. Whisk until cheese completely melts into sauce.
