Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
Step 2 of 5
Cook pasta according to packet instructions. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
Step 3 of 5

and cook for 3 minutes, stirring, or until slightly softened.
Step 4 of 5
Add flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring, or until mixture is coated in flour. Add milk, stock cube and reserved cooking liquid, then bring
