€€€€€

Ingredients

Spirelli or mini-spirelli
Olive oil
25 gm butter
25 gm flower
300 ml milk
Nutmeg
Pepper and salt
Cheese, e.g. grated Emmenthal, Gorgonzola, Mozzarella, Parmesan

Preparation

Preparation
Cook the spirelli or mini spirelli in advance according to the instructions on the package. Stir in a dash of olive oil so that they do not stick.
Make a standard béchamel sauce.
Then add the cheese to make a delicious cheese sauce.
Attention: béchamel-based cheese sauce has a tendency to thicken if left standing for a while. If necessary, add some more milk just before putting it on the table and stir well again.
In a raclette pan:
Keep the pasta and sauce warm on the FRITEL Warming Tray.
Put some pasta and sauce in a raclette pan.
Sprinkle with extra grated cheese and leave to gratinate under the grill.

Tips

You can also add bacon cubes, pancetta, ham or smoked salmon,... to your sauce.
Instead of Emmenthaler cheese you can also use Gruyere and Parmesan can be replaced by pecorino or grana padano.
For extra spice in your cheese sauce you can add cayenne pepper or peppers, or replace the mozzarella with a spicier cheese such as provolone.
