🍝 White Sauce Pasta Recipe (Serves 3)

🧺 Ingredients

For the Pasta:

  • 2 cups pasta (penne, fusilli, or macaroni)
  • 6 cups water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp oil

For the White Sauce (Béchamel Sauce):

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp maida (all-purpose flour)
  • 1½ cups milk (preferably full cream, warm)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper powder
  • ¼ tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tbsp grated cheese (mozzarella or processed cheese)

For the Veggies (optional but recommended):

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • ½ cup chopped onions
  • ½ cup capsicum (red, yellow, green mixed)
  • ¼ cup sweet corn
  • ¼ cup broccoli or carrots (optional)
  • 1 tsp mixed herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

🔥 Method

Step 1: Boil the Pasta

  1. In a large pot, boil 6 cups of water with salt and oil.
  2. Add pasta and cook until al dente (soft yet slightly firm).
  3. Strain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.
  4. Drizzle a few drops of oil to prevent sticking and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Veggies

  1. Heat 1 tbsp butter or olive oil in a pan.
  2. Add onions and sauté until translucent.
  3. Add capsicum, corn, and broccoli — sauté for 2–3 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and herbs, then turn off the heat.

Step 3: Make the White Sauce

  1. In another pan, melt 2 tbsp butter on low flame.
  2. Add 2 tbsp maida and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes — don’t let it brown.
  3. Gradually add warm milk while whisking to avoid lumps.
  4. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
  5. Add salt, pepper, chili flakes, and cheese — mix well until creamy and shiny.

Step 4: Combine Everything

  1. Add the boiled pasta and sautéed veggies into the sauce.
  2. Toss gently so the pasta is evenly coated.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 5: Serve with Style

  • Garnish with extra cheese, herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Serve hot with garlic bread and a smile that says bon appétit! 😋

💡 Tips from Kitchen Nomad:

  • Always use warm milk to make smooth white sauce.
  • You can add cream for a richer flavor.
  • Want a baked version? Sprinkle cheese on top and bake for 10 mins at 180°C.
