Gabe's Favorite Cheesy Pasta

Every week mama and I make cheesy pasta. Every week daddy and I eat it all. It is my favorite food, and the best part is that it gets better the more leftoverish it becomes. Yummy!!

{Cheesy Pasta}
4 cups cooked pasta {about 16 oz}
2 tbsp butter or margarine
1/2 tsp chopped onion
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp ground mustard
2 tbsp flour
2 cups plain yogurt {we like soy!!}
3 cups shredded cheese


{If you haven't already, prepare the pasta according to the directions.}

Melt the butter in a pan. Then add your onion, garlic powder and ground mustard. Let them simmer for about 3-5 minutes.











Add some flour. This will help thicken your sauce. Mix it all up and let it simmer for a few minutes.












Now add the yogurt and mix it all up. Let it simmer for a few minutes so it's all a consistent temperature.











Then slowly mix in your cheese. We used medium cheddar, but you can use different types/combinations. Rememberize that if you use less yellow cheeses, your sauce may not look as "cheesy".











Let your cheese sauce simmer for a few minutes to get the cheese all melted and mixed in. Then you can spoon some on your noodles. {Mmmm...}











Whatever is leftover can be stored in the fridge for about a week {it never lasts longer than that at our house!!} It gets even better when it's leftovers!!
