- Cook pasta according to package directions, drain and toss with a little bit of olive oil to prevent it from sticking together as much.
- Meanwhile, chop garlic and melt 3 tbsp butter in a large saucepan over medium/low heat.
- Once butter is melted and bubbling, mix in flour and cook by whisking the mixture every 1-2 minutes - until raw flour smell is gone.
- Whisk in half-and-half, mustard, and hot sauce then cook, whisking until thickened, 4 to 6 minutes.
