This sauce can easily separate because of the low fat ingredients so make sure to keep it over low heat only. I had it too high the first time and it didn't turn out. Cooked it on low heat and made sure it didn't simmer too hot once the cheese was added and then it turned out delicious. Mixed it with cooked broccoli and rice.
