This is the quick version of the traditional recipe based on a bechamel sauce.For children sometimes I add cubed ham to the pasta.
To stage this meal, ideally boil the water in a pentola. If a pentola is not available, boil the pasta for the first serving (90 grams of pasta per person) and use a slotted spoon to remove the pasta from the water and toss with the sauce. Keep the pasta water heated in a covered pan until the next serving and repeat.
