["Before you start to make your sauce bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your macaroni until its almost al dente.", "Start out by adding your 1/4 cup of butter to a wide stainless steel saucepan, saucier, or large saute over medium heat.", "Once the butter is melted add your garlic onion and salt (or whatever aromatics you're using) and cook until soft and the garlic is just getting brown around the edges.", "After that add the flour and while whisking furiously turn the heat to medium-low.", "Cook while whisking until the roux takes on a blondish color then add your spices, in this case black pepper and smoked paprika.", "Add the milk whisking constantly then boost the heat to medium and cook whisking frequently until the mix comes to a simmer and the sauce thickens.", "Once the sauce has thickened beat the egg in a separate bowl and slowly, while whisking, add some of the sauce a little at a time until the egg is \"tempered\"".""
