Directions
Step 1
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain the pasta and set it aside.

In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and bubbly, creating a roux.
