  • Cook the macaroni/ pasta till el dente. Drain and set aside.

  • Once the pressure is gone, drain the chicken off its stock and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, heat the butter. Add the all purpose flour and saute just for a minute. Ensure that this is done on low flame so that the flour doesn't burn.
