Meanwhile, In a large pot of boiling water, cook penne pasta according to package; reserve 1 cup of water and drain well – set aside.

Melt butter in a separate pot over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Sprinkle flour and stir well to create a thicker paste. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
