Pasta in white sauce

May 18, 2011 by Sharmilee J 61 Comments

I can never forget the first time I tried this. I saw this recipe at the back of the pasta wrapper but it was a baking recipe. I was about to start baking and the current went off so went ahead with this recipe and now this has been regular in our weekend menu whenever pasta is in stock.I have made a tomato based pasta but still this is hubbys favourite.

Pasta in white sauce Recipe


Pasta in white sauce Recipe:
Serves 2

Ingredients:
  • Pasta – 1 cup
  • Carrot – 1 chopped lengthwise
  • Onion – 1 chopped finely
  • Pepper – 1/2 tsp
  • Chilli flakes – 1/2 tsp
  • Seasoning – 1 tsp (optional) – I used the seasoning sachet that comes with pizza
  • Olive oil – 1 tbsp
For the white sauce:
  • Cornflour -2 tsp
  • Maida – 2 tsp
  • Cheese – 1 tbsp
  • Milk – 1/2 cup

Pasta in white sauce Recipe

Method:

  1. Cook pasta in water until soft yet firm enough to bite. Add a tsp of oil and salt while cooking pasta.
  2. In a mixing bowl, first mix little milk with cornflour and maida so that there is no lumps , keep aside.
  3. In a pan heat olive oil, add onions saute until lightly browned then add carrots and saute until it shrinks and raw smell leaves. Then add the milk-maida-cornflour mixture with remaining milk and mix well.
  4. Add the cheese at this stage and allow it to melt.
  5. It will start thickening at this stage – Add cooked pasta, required salt, pepper powder,seasoning, chilli flakes. Keep in low flame and cook for 3mins mixing well continuosly. Switch off and serve hot.

My Notes:
  • Adding seasoning enhances the flavour if you dont have just ignore that and go ahead with pepper and chilli flakes, it will still taste good.
  • Serve immediately as the white sauce thickens faster when kept for a longer time. If it becomes dry, add little more milk, mix and heat it at the time of seving.
  • You can include any veggies of your choice.
  • Adding cream also makes it more rich and tasty.

The first time I made this, I added cooked peas and carrot and this time only carrots. So adding veggies is totally your choice. You can add sweet corn too. Its easy and messfree as there is no grinding part 🙂

    Hi Sharmi,
    I was starving a while ago and since had to cook something all for myself, was thinking about something that doesnt consume lot of time. I came across this recipe and since I love pasta in any form, decided to try it immediately. Here I am (after 20mins)sitting with my hot cup of pasta, and man this tastes yumm!! You made my day (and my lunch) today, thanks girl! keep up the great work ! 🙂
    Cheers,
    Latha

    Hi sharmi,

    I love pasta. I have tried it with Tomato puree. Pasta with White sauce invites me… Please sharmi,I would like to know if cheese can be skipped or can it be replaced by any other ingredient. Thank you,

      I dont think cheese can be replaced…may be you can skip that but cant assure on the taste as white sauce is meant to be made with cheese

      June 17, 2013 at 12:33 pm

      No I woudnt recommend replacing white flour with wheat. The sauce texture will sure vary and spoil the dish on the whole, so use maida only.
