Notes
The only prep is to get the ingredients together so you don't have to stop once you start making the sauce. If you buy ungrated cheese and I hope you do, now would be a good time to grate it.
That's it. Couldn't be more simple, but you won't believe how good it is because you are starting with a great base for the sauce.
