Stir well until the cream cheese has melted into the sauce. You can easily omit it if you don't have any in your store cupboard though. I also add a grating of nutmeg (approx 0.25 tsp) as I love the flavour and it gives this dish a lovely lift.

Next add the cream cheese and a good grating of black pepper to the saucepan.

Now keep the pan on the heat and gradually add the milk, 100ml at a time, whisking as you go to allow the ingredients to combine.

Stir to combine and then cook over a medium-low heat for a couple of minutes until it is sizzling gently.

In a small non-stick saucepan, melt the butter and then add the plain gluten free flour.While it cooks you can get started on the cheese sauce.
