Hi All , Hope All are doing fine.I am fine too
Today I am going to show you a pasta recipe .Pasta in white sauce
There are different types of pasta
Penne , Macaroni, Spaghetti, Spiral etc. Today I am using the spiral pasta
Take a vessel . Add water till 3/4th and then boil it .I have taken 100 gm of pasta
Add 1 tbsp of olive oil/sunflower oil into this.Do not add coconut oil. Oil is required so that the pasta doesnt stick to each other
Add some salt . the salt should be a little more so that it is evenly coated on each pasta  while boiling
Mix it well and taste if the water is salty .If not adjust the salt
Allow the water to boil well
When the water is boiling hot add the pasta to this
The pasta should be cooked such that we are able to bit the pasta also it should be soft and cooked
you can cook it to your desired consistency
stir occasionally. And allow the pasta to cook
To stir fry the vegetables. Take a kadai .Heat it
Add some olive oil
We use olive oil for Italian dishes
add 2 garlic pieces finely chopped
Saute this
you can avoid garlic if you wish to
Always saute garlic on medium heat to avoid burning
When the raw smell goes add the vegetables
I have used carrot,green peas red and yellow capsicums.You can use your desired vegetables in this pasta like Broccoli,Mushroom etc
Do not add too many vegetables
Saute it gently and for a minute or 2.
Add a pinch of salt to the vegetables
Add a pinch of white pepper powder
Make the sauce when you are ready to mix it.Else the sauce become thick.
Check the pasta. If it is cooked to your preference you can remove it from the heat and strain it .
For the sauce - Keep a kadai on the stove
Add 1 1/2 tbsp of butter to this kadai
On medium flame melt the butter
Add 1 full tbsp Maida /All purpose flour
Stir continuously so that no lumps are formed. Keep the heat on medium flame
let the flour cook well in this butter. Stir till the raw smell goes
For Italian recipe we use All purpose flour only !
Add 1 1/4 cups(300 ml) of full fat milk into this
Stir this continuously till the sauce thickens
You can add cheese. Any kind of cheese of your desired choice.
You can add the cheese when the sauce begins to get thickened
Do not over thicken the sauce.
If you are adding cheese .Add salt after adding the cheese
if the sauce sticks on to your spatula then the sauce is of the correct consistency
you can add some nutmeg powder (optional)
Add the vegetables
Add the boiled pasta
Mix well
Always Serve the pasta Hot .
If you desire you can add some Italian seasonings .Crush some Oregano ,RoseMary and Basil with your hands and add it
Add some chilli flakes and some pepper to this
You can add Fresh leaf of Tulsi/Basil if you have
Pasta in white sauce is ready
Please ensure that we make the white sauce in the end
Keep everything  handy while making pasta .
You can avoid the vegetables and make simple pasta if that is your preference .
If you feel the sauce is too thick add some hot milk and cook again
