📝 Preparation Steps

Cook pasta according to package directions - be sure to salt the boiling water. Drain well.

While the pasta is cooking, cook the sausage over medium heat in a large pot (at least 5 Qt). Use a wooden spoon to break up the sausage into small bits. This takes about ⏱️ 5-10 minutes. Once the sausage is cooked through, remove it to a plate or bowl and set aside.

Stir in the flour completely and cook for ⏱️ 1 minute, then add the milk. Stir to combine the mixture, then add the italian seasoning, pepper, and dry mustard.
