Like a lot of pasta recipes, this isn't the prettiest one. You can see we added some parsley just to spruce it up a bit. It was so-so. You could definitely add to it with some chicken or even some black pepper. Considering it's easy to make with no super expensive or bizarre ingredients, I might make it again. However, just on taste alone, I don't think I'd be seeking this one out any time soon.
- 16 cups water
- 4 cups penne pasta
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 4 Tbsp flour
- 4 cups milk
- 2 cups Romano or Parmesan cheese, grated
In a large saucepan, bring water to a rolling boil. Add oil and salt; stir in pasta and boil 10 minutes, stirring often so noodles don't stick to the pot.
Meanwhile in a small saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic. Add the flour and cook until mixture looks like wet sand. Add milk, all at once. Heat slowly, stirring often (it will be lumpy at first). Two minutes before you are ready to serve, add the cheese. Do not overheat or cheese will be stringy. Serve over hot pasta.
