Pasta in white sauce

I have been making this pasta for quite a while now. This simple and delicious pasta is one pot meal and kids' favorite too. So whenever you need a break from routine meal and want your kids to have veggies, try this homemade pasta. Once you taste this, you will never go for store bought pasta sauce, it is this simple and easy.

Pasta - any type of pasta tastes good with this sauce, but penne and macaroni are the most used types of pasta with this sauce.

Vegetables

Onions

Bell pepper

Sweet corns

Olives

Broccoli

Carrots

(use your choice of vegetables)

For sauce

Butter 1 tbsp

Olive oil 1 tbsp (can be skipped)

Flour 1 tbsp

Milk 1 cup

Cheese 1/2 cup

(you can use mixture of any cheese, I generally use chedder and mozzarella for this sauce)

Salt and Pepper for seasoning

Italian seasoning

Recipe

1. Cook pasta according to packet instructions. Generally pasta takes 8-9 minutes to become al dente. Pasta should not be over cooked, it should be firm to bite.

2.Meanwhile cut your veggies and stir fry them in a little butter and olive oil.

3. In a deep pan add butter and oil, once the butter melts completely add flour to it and stir it for a minute, do not burn it. Add milk to it while stirring. Keep stirring until it thickens.     

4. Now add cheese to this and stir until cheese melts.

5. Season with salt and pepper.

6. Finally add this sauce and veggies to cooked pasta and sprinkle little bit Italian seasoning and some more cheese and serve hot.

Note-

1. Al dente is the stage before softening the pasta.

2. Once your pasta has become al dente, drain the water and run it through cold water to stop further cooking.
