Cook the fusilli pasta in a pot with boiling wated with 2 oz of salt to season the pasta water. Pull off once its fully cooked and place in ice water to stop the cooking process.
For the sauce
Melt the butter in a stock pot and add the flour when the butter is completely melted down. The butter and flour make a roux. Add the chicken stock a little at a time, whisking thoroughly so it doesn't clump up.
Next start adding the smoked gouda a little at a time and continue to whisk until all the cheese is melted (you can shred or grat the cheese so it melts easier).
Last add the heavy cream and whisk for a few minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
