What can go wrong with cheese sauce recipes? The sauce may curdle or “crush” popularly. This happens due to inconsistent mixing. But you can fix it by whipping it with a stick blender and then straining it through a fine sieve. The same problem can occur by adding cheese too quickly. That is why it is not advisable to rush.

In order for the sauce to hold nicely on the pasta, let it drain well. Any residual water would dilute the sauce even more, and it would no longer stick so nicely on them.
