Macaroni without cheese

This is not for vegans or paleos, but for anyone who just wants a low-calorie pasta in a creamy sauce, I present to you pasta without cheese. This is modified from one of my older cookbooks.

PASTA WITHOUT CHEESE

Cook 1/2 package of pasta, (i.e. macaroni, rigatone, shells, penne) according to package directions.

Make white sauce by blending 1 Tbsp. flour, 1 Tbsp melted butter in skillet. Add up to 1 cup milk, until your white sauce is desired consistency. Add a little salt and pepper, and a squirt of brown or Dijon mustard.

You may add the pasta after blending a little milk and the seasonings into the sauce, or you may add your cooked macaroni into the finished sauce.

You can add other things. I added ham. You can even add cheese if you want to, but then it's more like a traditional macaroni and cheese, especially if you used macaroni.
