{Recipe}White Sauce Pasta

White Sauce Pasta is easy to make, 30 mins recipe. Restaurant style white sauce pasta can be enjoyed right at your home. It also can be best Dinner or Lunch menu. When you want to be light on your belly. Pasta is always been favourite among Kids and among all pasta dishes, white Sauce Pasta is demanded by most of the Kids because of its Cheesy and Creamy Flavor. In this Pasta recipe I have used colorful Bell Peppers but, you can enhance by adding some nutritious veggies like Broccoli, carrots, corns and many others as per your choice and can also be a great idea for Kids Lunch Box or the weekend meals too.

Pasta as we all know is an Italian delicacy, typically prepared from unleavened dough of wheat mixed with eggs or water and prepared into sheets or other shapes which can be cooked with veggies or meat. For the past recipe the base is either white or red sauce. More to speak about white sauce which is basically called as Bechamel Sauce which originated between France and Italy made from butter , milk, cheese and flour. This Creamy smooth Sauce brings amazing taste to pasta. The sauce is little on sweeter side. Perhaps you can always add spice according to your palette.

How to Prepare Perfect White Sauce Pasta.

• Do Not over cook the pasta.
• Make sure while preparing white sauce there are no Lumps in the sauce and for this always keep the flame slow.
• Pre-Chop the veggies and arrange all ingredients required.
• Cheese You can use either Grated or Cheese slice too as i have used i above recipe.
• If No olive oil you can always use butter in preparation of pasta.
