Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add shallot; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in flour; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk; cook, whisking often, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Whisk in 1/4 cup Parmesan until melted.

Pour the sauce over the pasta; stir, adding some or all of the remaining 1/4 cup of reserved cooking water until desired consistency is reached.

Broil until the casserole is heated through and the top is golden brown, about 10 minutes.
