Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 °F. Lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
- Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until tender. (Check cooking time for pasta; remove pasta approximately 2 minutes early.)

- Stir in flour until well blended. (Note: Start with 1/3 cup flour and add more, if needed.)
