Sprinkle the flour over the butter--quickly stir with a whisk until smooth. Slowly add Half 'N Half while whisking--cook/whisk for 2-3 minutes or until mixture thickens. Turn heat back to low--add cubed cheese--cook/stir until cheese is melted. Add the drained rotelle pasta--cook/stir until mixture is hot and thick.
