PASTA SAUSAGE BAKE WITH WHITE SAUCE

1 lb of your favorite short pasta (shells, ziti, rigatoni, macaroni etc.)
1 lb ground italian sausage (will work with 1/2 lb.)
2 cups milk
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (can be omitted if you don't have this)
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp italian seasoning
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any other cheese you have on hand)

Brown your sausage in a pan while you cook your pasta in a separate pot according to the directions on the package. Drain the sausage. Use the same pan you browned sausage in to make the white sauce. Make a rue with the olive oil and flour. Mix together and slowly add the milk, stirring frequently. Add parmesan cheese and italian seasoning. Simmer and let thicken. Drain pasta. Put pasta, sausage and white sauce mixed together in a 9/13 baking dish. Cover with shredded cheddar and bake for 30 minutes at 350.
