Basic Cheese Sauce

Cheese Sauce

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups half and half cream
1 1/2 cups water
2 vegetable or chicken bouillon cubes
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (or 1/2 cup grated cheese of choice)

Melt butter in saucepan and then stir in flour until well blended. Gradually add the cream, water, and bouillon cubes, cooking and stirring constantly until sauce is thickened. Stir in cheese and heat just until melted.

Serve over cannelloni.

*Note: You can of course be as creative as you want with this sauce, adding sauteed vegetables, basil, parsley, or other spices and serve it over any other kind of pasta.

Enjoy!
