Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the pasta using the package directions, omitting the salt. Drain well in a colander. Cover to keep warm.
Step 2
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup milk and the flour until smooth. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Pour the mixture into the saucepan.
Step 3
Whisk in the remaining 1 1/4 cups milk. Bring to a boil. Cook for 15 minutes, or until thickened, stirring constantly with a flat spatula to keep the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
Stir in 1/4 cup Parmesan and the lemon juice and pepper.
Step 5
Transfer the pasta to a platter. Pour the sauce over the pasta. Sprinkle with the parsley, salt, and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons Parmesan. Garnish with the lemon wedges.
