  3. While the pasta cooks, make the cheese sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over a medium heat, then add the flour and stir continuously for around 2 mins, until it turns golden. Grab a whisk and add the milk gradually; keep whisking the whole time, until the sauce starts to thicken (about 3-5 mins). Remove from the heat and add the gruyère, 50g of the cheddar, the parmesan. Season to taste and set aside.
