Notes
Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
No, As the sauce sits the oil from the cheese and butter will begin to separate. You can make the noodles ahead of time but not the sauce. GOOD NEWS! this sauce literally takes about 5 minutes to make! So you can make it quickly anywhere. How do I make this recipe gluten-free? Use gluten free noodles and this recipe will be gluten free!!Nutrition
