Let it cook for ten minutes, season with salt, then transfer everything to a bowl and add the béchamel. Mix well. Boil the pasta in plenty of salted water for the time indicated on the package, drain and dress it with the prepared sauce. Add grated parmesan to taste, mix, and transfer the pasta to a baking dish.
