Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

3. Once the butter is melted, add the flour to the saucepan. Stir continuously with a whisk until the flour is well incorporated into the butter and forms a smooth paste, known as a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw taste of the flour.

4. Gradually pour the milk into the saucepan while whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

5. Continue cooking the sauce over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Buy now:- Kitty Planter

8. Serve the white sauce pasta hot, garnished with chopped parsley or basil if desired.
