Macaroni can be replaced with spiral or shell pasta. For a change, divide mixture among individual ramekins, then cook as required. They can be refrigerated for up to four days.

Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water until tender. Drain.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add garlic. Cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Add flour. Cook, stirring for
