Italian cuisine is always our favorite…..Last weekend it was homemade pizza for saturday nights dinner.I have attempted to make pizza / pasta for lunch but then our taste buds doesn’t suit it also mittu is not fond of pastas so it finds its place only for breakfast.
I love both the baked version and the stove top version.Getting the perfect white sauce consistency took some time for me nut now its just a child’s play 🙂 The love for white sauce led me to try this sandwich and I have got good reviews for the recipe from friends and readers already.
White Sauce Pasta Recipe – Ingredients
Recipe Category: Breakfast | Recipe Cuisine: World
Pasta – 1 cup (I used penne pasta variety)
Milk – 1 and 1/2 cups
Maida(All Purpose Flour) – 1 tbsp heaped
Carrot – 1 small chopped finely
Sweet Corn – 1/4 cup boiled
Capsicum – 2 tbsp finely chopped
Cheese – 2 tbsp grated
Butter – 1 tbsp
Pepper powder – 1/4 tsp
Oregano – 1/4 tsp
Salt – to taste
Method:
- Cook pasta with enough water along with a tsp of olive oil and salt.Drain and Set aside.
- In a pan – heat a tsp of oil saute the veggies for 2mins,Set aside.Heat butter in a pan when it starts to melt add maida.
- Whisk it well.Now add milk and keep stirring. Keep stirring until the mixture becomes slight thick and creamy.Cook in low medium flame and keep stirring to avoid lumps. Add required salt.Add oregano and pepper powder.
- Add chilli flakes,once the white sauce becomes thick, creamy and coats the laddle.Add the sauted vegetables.
- Add cheese,then cooked pasta and give a quick mix.Switch off.
Serve hot ….yummm!!
My Notes:
- Make sure to stir continuously to avoid lumps.After maida is added whisk it well and use a whisk to mix after milk is added.
- You can add any vegetable of your choice.Capsicum,cabbage ,peas are few of my suggestions.
- Oregano and pepper powder gives a great flavour.
- If you want you can add 2 tbsp finely chopped onions too.
- You can use any variety of pasta for this.I used Penne Pasta.
- White sauce pasta gets dried up quickly so serve it as soon as you cook.If its gets thick and dry then add few tbsp milk and heat it up.
- While serving add little grated cheese for extra richness and yumminess 🙂 Sprinkle oregano while serving.

hi Sharmi,
How would the baked version of the same taste? I am a bit skeptical to try that.
Thanks,
Latha
Taste would be good only but its not saucy like the stove top version, it becomes slightly dry check out my mac and cheese recipe its a baked version
yummy and colorful pasta…
Hello sharmi

Thank you,
Lavanya
Everything till step 5 its with flame ON only….
Thank you ..Iam so tempted to try this by looking pics…:)
My all time favorite white sauce pasta:-)
Pastas are always life savers to me whenever I run out of rice or atta flour. Also they are a easy way to reduce effort in cooking and usage of utensils. I will try to incorporate as many vegetables as possible .
Alao i use macoroni style as they are less in size and limit the amount of carbohydrate in my pasta meal.
White saace pasta is really a quick fav for children.Cool pixs as always.
My favorite, love it any time of the day.
I want to make it now, picture makes me tempting
Lovely pasta, super tempting

Hello .. i would like to make it for my wife.. just having small issues.. 1st what is the chilly flake? 2nd i here in malaysia oregano is available in dried form so will it do? Thanks in advance mem
Crushed dried red chilli is chilli flakes, yes use dried oregano
Hi Ms.Sharmi.. Could you suggest an alternative to maida, if any?
I am not sure of alternates here….may be cornflour not sure though
U can use wheat flour in place of maida but stir it well coz it gets brown sooner.

Which type of cheese does you use in this
I used Amul Cube Cheese
hi . my son like nonveg can i add chicken to the pasta and how and when .pl suggest
Yes you can saute and cook chicken separately and then add it.Add small pieces so that it cooks faster
Hi thanks a lot for the recipe. First time it turned out great. Second time I had lumps of maida and butter which were not getting mixed with milk even with constant stirring. Any fool proof tip or method to avoid this?
The trick is to keep whisking to avoid lumps, keep in low flame and cook
Are u talking about panner….when name cheese come
No it is cheese not paneer
Thank you for the amazing and easy recipe. Tried it and it came out wonderful. No need of going to expensive restaurants, if I can make it at home.
Hi Sharmi,
Can you tell me what kind of cheese you used.
Is it parmesan ?
Hi Sharmi,
Plz tell the cooking time of pasta to get non rubbery pasta?
Dont go by the timing, cook till the pasta is soft
Thank you for sharing.
