Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium high heat. Add flour and whisk to combine making sure there are no lumps. Cook for 1 minute stirring often.
- Whisk in one cup of water making sure mixture is completely smooth and cook until it starts to thicken. Gradually stir in remaining water and milk. Whisk in salt, garlic powder, and mustard powder to evenly distribute.
- Stir in pasta and bring to simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low to maintain simmer and cook 9-10 minutes or until pasta is al dente and liquid has thickened and reduced.
