Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until a thick paste (roux) forms.
Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
