Step By Step Guide
Make the pasta
Add salt to 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook it until it is firm to the bite. Set aside and drain.
Make the white sauce.
Put 1 tablespoon of butter in a pan and melt it. Add 1 tablespoon of flour and cook on low heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the raw scent goes away.
Pour in the milk
