Cook spaghetti according to package directions. If using chicken, season it with salt, pepper, and garlic, then cook through in a pan and remove. In the same pan, add the butter and minced garlic, scraping any bits off the bottom. Mix in the flour to create a roux. Gradually stir in the milk and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Lower the heat and add the pesto. Combine the sauce with the cooked pasta, adding pasta water as needed to reach desired consistency. Serve with Parmesan.
