  • 1 pound gemelli pasta

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 4 tablespoons flour

  • 3 cups whole milk

  • 2 teaspoons Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix

Stir in the milk and Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning Mix and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Fold in the cheese and stir until melted. Add the cooked pasta and mix well. Serve hot.
