Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  5. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.

Notes

  • For extra richness, use half-and-half instead of milk.
