White Sauce Pasta Recipe

I make pasta once in a while and mostly I end up making white sauce pasta as everyone at home demands for it.As there is very little scope and time for me to experiment on other cuisines on weekdays I push it to the weekends and as white sauce pasta is not much of work minimum chopping and no grinding, its perfect for me to make for weekend breakfast.The trick here is not to strain much on weekends so I reserve some easy recipes for weekends 😉

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.

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.

  7. 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.

  29. 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?
