How do I make the sauce thicker?

If you want a thicker sauce then you can add butter then flour to your pot and mix until you get a paste. Add in milk and broth slowly whisking until you have a thickened sauce.

Then continue with the directions. If you already cooked your pasta you can try adding cornstarch to this recipe to thicken it up.
