   1                    (stick of)Butter [melted]
     3/4   c            Flour
   2       c            Milk [room temp.]
   1 1/2   tb           Onion powder
   1 1/2   tb           Garlic powder
   1       t            Italian seasoning
   1 1/2   ts           Mrs. Dash [original]
   1 1/2   ts           White pepper
   1       cn           (4oz) Mushrooms [sliced]
                        (or 1/4 c fresh `shrooms)
     1/2   c            Parmesan (or Romano) cheese
                        [Grated]
                        Pasta for 6 servings

  1)     In a med to large bowl make a silk sauce by
  whisking the flour into the melted butter adding a
  little at a time `til the butter won't take any more
  flour and you have a thick paste. Whisk in the room
  temp. milk `til it is silky smooth and free of
  lumps... 2) Pour this into an electric frying pan and
  simmer on low just to keep warm, stirring to prevent
  lumping. (you may add more milk 1/4 c at a time to keep
  smooth, BUT NOT THIN)... 3) Add the remaining
  ingredients (except the pasta) whisking completely
  after each addition (adjusting for your personal
  taste)... 4) Prepare your pasta, (fresh is best if you
  can find it or make it), stirring the sauce
  occasionally... 5) When the pasta is tender but not
  over cooked, drain it in a collender and put it on a
  warmed serving plate or platter, then carefully pour
  the sauce over the top and garnish with sprigs of
  fresh parsley... Serve with fresh italian bread or
  rolls (plain or garlic) and a nice italian wine...
  
  Variations: a) With meat; Brown 11/2 lbs. of ground beef
  and 2 tb of dried minced onions in a frying pan. Drain
  off the fat and pour on top of the pasta before you
  pour on the sauce... b) With meatballs; Prepare your
  favorite meatball recipe and when they are done put
  them in the sauce and serve over the pasta... c) All
  together now; The way that we like it is; after the
  pasta is tender but not over cooked, add the ground
  beef, stirring to mix well, then add the sauce, again
  stirring to mix well...
