• Add in the flour and cook for about 3 minutes over low heat.

• Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water until JUST firm-tender; drain VERY well, the transfer to a large bowl.
• Set oven to 350 degrees.
• Butter a 3-quart casserole dish (or larger).

• Transfer the mixture to prepared casserole dish.
• Sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
• In a small bowl mix together the breadcrumbs with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, then sprinkle over the shredded cheese.

• Bake for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling.
