Method

In a large pot, bring plenty of water to boil with a little salt.

Cook for 7-9 minutes until just tender (al dente). Reserve 4-5 tbsp of water, drain the rest of the water and set the pasta aside.

Heat butter in a saucepan, add onions, garlic and cook until it turns transparent.

Add chopped mushrooms and cook on medium heat until mushrooms are tender.

Add whole wheat flour and cook for another 2 minutes or until the rawness of the flour goes.

Lower the heat and gradually add milk, little at a time, stirring constantly until the sauce is smooth without lumps.
