Method:
Bechamel sauce:
  • Heat butter in a pan over medium heat, add flour and cook for about a minute, do not let it brown.
  • Add in milk stirring the mixture continuously to avoid any lump formation.
  • Bring it to a boil, add salt, black pepper ad some chilli flakes.
  • Cook for 3-4 minutes till you get the desired thick consistency. 
  • Switch off the flame add half of the cheese, stir well and keep this aside.

  •  Add half of the  bechamel sauce reserving 3-4 tbsp for later use. 
  • Switch off the flame and keep it aside.


Assembling:
  • Cut the dinner roll from the top, scoop out the centre of the bun. 
  • Spoon the prepared pasta in the cavity, pour some bechamel sauce and top it with some grated cheese.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 3-4 minutes at 200 degree C.
