Ingredients
- Dorblu cheese -150 g
- gouda cheese - 150 g
- premium wheat flour - 40 g
- milk - 250 ml
- coarse salt - 10 g
- ground black pepper - optional
- olive oil - optional
- caraway seeds - 10 g
- basil - 2 pinches
- boiled spaghetti - 2 servings
Step cooking
- Pour 40 g of wheat flour into a small stewpan and send it to heat on low heat.
- Meanwhile, put 10 g of coarse salt and the same amount of dried cumin in a mortar. Be careful with the amount of salt, as the cheese used in this recipe is quite salty. If you make a sauce based on another kind of cheese, which is less salty, then increase the amount of salt. Grind the ingredients thoroughly with a pestle until a homogeneous consistency is obtained.
- As soon as the flour warms up well, pour 250 ml of cold milk to it and immediately whisk the ingredients with a whisk.
- Boil the sauce for 3-5 minutes, while not stopping the work with a whisk. If you didn’t succeed in breaking all the flour lumps, then filter the sauce through a fine strainer, and then return it to the saucepan and continue cooking.
- Add the prepared mixture of salt and caraway seeds to the sauce, as well as 2 pinches of dried basil.
- We continue brewing bechamel sauce over low heat, periodically stirring it with a whisk.
- On a coarse grater, we grind 150 g of blue dorblu cheese and hard Dutch gouda cheese. If you want to cook a thicker sauce, then increase the amount of cheese.
- We send the grated cheese of both varieties to the bechamel sauce and mix everything thoroughly with a whisk.
- Spread the cooked spaghetti on a plate and pour them abundantly with cheese sauce.
- Sprinkle the dish with olive oil, and then pepper to taste.
