Meanwhile, boil your water for your pasta. In a small saucepan place 3 tbsp butter (can substitute low fat butter) until melted, top w/3 tbsp flour to create a thick mixture. Cook on low heat until bubbling. Next add 2 cups of skim milk while whisking the butter/flour mixture. Add chicken broth & let the mixture thicken on a low-medium heat.
