    2) Add the onions and garlic, season with a touch of salt and pepper, sauté for about 5 minutes then add the flour and stir it in for a full minute.

    3) Add the stock, milk, tomato sauce and seasonings, bring to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes then add the pasta, cook until al dente, adjust the seasoning to taste then stir in the cheese and dig right in!
