Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten free elbow pasta according to package directions until just al dente — tender but with a slight resistance at the center. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta through a colander and set aside.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is foamy and fully melted, add the gluten free flour and whisk constantly for 1 minute, until the mixture is pale golden and smells slightly nutty.
