Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.

Crunchy Topping - Mix together.
3
Cook pasta per packet directions MINUS ⏱️ 1 minute. Drain then allow to cool slightly, then return into pot.
4
White Sauce - Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for ⏱️ 30 seconds.

When the milk starts to heat up, whisk constantly to make sure the white sauce doesn’t catch on the base.
