Melt the rest of the 4 tablespoons butter, in large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk within the flour and prepare for around two to three minutes.

Prepare the egg noodles inside a large pot of salted boiling water based on package directions just until al dente. Drain and give it back towards the saucepan. Add some sauce, stirring lightly to coat the noodles. Transfer the mix towards the prepared baking dish.
Inside a mixing bowl, toss together the grated cheese and also the bread crumbs. Drizzle using the 1 tablespoon of melted butter and toss. Sprinkle evenly within the casserole. Bake before the topping is crisp and also the sauce is bubbling.
