Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions.

* Step 2

While pasta is cooking, in a fry pan, add salami and cook over medium heat until it gets a bit crispy on the outside. About 5-8 minutes.

* Step 3

In a large skillet with deep sides heat pan over medium heat. Add oil and garlic. Cook garlic 30 seconds. Add flour and stir cooking another minute.

* Step 4

Whisk in whole milk and keep whisking to prevent lumps. Once thickened, add cheeses and spices. Reduce heat to low.

* Step 5

Stir. You are looking for a nice creamy, cheesy consistency. If it is too thick, add an additional 1/4 cup of milk until you reach desired results.

* Step 6

Pasta should be ready, so when it is, drain and add to cheeses. Stir in salami now too. Mix well and now your ready to serve.

* Step 7

No need to bake this. If you do want a crispy topping you can mix 4 tablespoons of melted butter to 1 cup panko bread crumbs or crushed buttery crackers. Sprinkle on top and bake uncovered in a 375°F oven for 20 minutes.

* Step 8

A nice side salad and your meal is ready! Enjoy!
