I did everything as written, in compliance with all the proportions, but the cheese does not become a sauce, no matter how much I melt it, I also tried to increase the temperature and keep it on the fire longer, but the ingredients do not combine into one single thing, everything floats around. separately, and when you remove it from the heat, the cheese hardens, melted butter floats around it, which looks like vegetable oil, and cheese can actually kill you... What am I doing wrong?

TATYANA, I'm so sorry. Perhaps the problem is in the cheese, try preparing half a portion of the sauce, just use a different cheese, for example, mozzarella for pizza (not in balls, but in blocks). Mozzarella melts very readily, so I don’t think there will be any problems with it.
