Gluten Free Apple Cider Mac and Cheese

• 2 Tbsp. butter
• 2 Tbsp. gluten free flour (I used oat)
• 1 c. milk
• 1 c. apple cider
• Salt and pepper
• 4 oz. cream cheese
• 1/2 c. plain Greek yogurt
• 2 c. cheese, shredded
• 1/8 tsp. cinnamon
• 12 oz. gluten free pasta

1. CHEESE SAUCE: In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over low heat, until melted. Then, whisk in the flour. Next, whisk in the milk and apple cider. Season with salt and pepper. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
2. PASTA: Meanwhile, heat a pot of water according to package directions. Add salt. Then, add the gluten free pasta and cook until tender. Reserve at least 1/2 a cup of pasta water. Next, drain and rinse pasta with cold water.
3. CHEESE SAUCE: Add the cream cheese when the mixture has begun to thicken. Whisk until melted and mostly smooth. Then, add the Greek yogurt, cheese, and cinnamon. Whisk until mixture is smooth and everything has melted.
4. In a large mixing bowl or one of the pots/pans. Add the pasta water to the pasta. Stir. Next, add the cheese sauce and stir until pasta is coated.

** This mixture is pretty saucy. You could use 16 oz. of pasta, but the extra sauce will thicken after sitting for a little. In addition, it will work well if you refrigerate and reheat any leftovers.
