Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon of butter
  • 1 tablespoon of plain all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon of paprika

Heat a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as per packet instructions. Drain and set aside.

Bake in oven for 20 minutes, or until tender.

Pour into serving plate and garnish with parsley.
