Preparation

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne until al dente. Reserve a little pasta water and drain.

In a wide pan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic and let it release its aroma gently, never browning.

Add the flour and stir constantly for about 1 minute, creating a smooth, pale roux.

Slowly pour in the warm milk, stirring without stopping until the sauce becomes silky and thick.

Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. This spice is the soul of the old recipes.

Add the Parmigiano and stir until fully melted and creamy.

Toss in the cooked penne. Add a little pasta water if needed to coat every bite perfectly.

Serve immediately, hot, comforting, and unapologetically classic.
