Hey everyone, how is your cooking going on?
Today I am thinking to make my kids favourite white sauce pasta
and i am going to share with you all the recipe
guys, if you like my videos do give it a thumbs up
and do share with your friends too
specially with those who have kids
and do subscribe to my channel
so let's begin with the recipe
To prepare creamy white sauce pasta
first of all we will boil the pasta
i have taken two cup of pasta here
approximately 200gms
my kids call it pipe pasta
this is actually Penne pasta, easily available in the market
you can even use any other shapes of pasta
take four to five cup of water in a vessel to boil pasta
then add a teaspoon of salt
and half a teaspoon of oil and mix it
once water comes to a boil
then add pasta
then mix it well
it is very neceesary to add salt at this stage
because pasta has no taste to it
if you don't add salt at this stage you would miss the chance to give flavour to your pasta
so don't forget to add salt at this stage
and second important thing is
don't put very much oil
otherwise your pasta get very oily
and it won't be able to coat the sauce properly
i got this tip from a very big chef
to not to add too much of oil while boiling pasta or noodles
keep stirring untill it comes to a boil
so these two important tips i wanted to share with you guys
you have to cook it on a medium high flame
keep stirring in between so that it doesn't get sticky
you have to cook it only 80% i.e 3/4th
like this, let me show by breaking one piece
you can see a white ring on the corners
it is breaking easily but it is still undercooked
because we are going to cook it with the sauce as well
in english it is called Al dente
once 80% cooked
Transfer cooked pasta to a large colander and drain excess water
to stop it's carryover cooking
we will wash it once with normal or cold water
carryover cooking means, it retains heat and continues to cook even after being removed from the source of heat.
then spread the pasta in a tray or in colander
at this stage you can spread some oil
if you are going to cook them after a while
so that it doesn't get stick to each other
heat 2 tablespoon of oil in a pan on medium flame
you can even use olive oil or even butter
once oil is piping hot add 1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
fry it for 30-40 seconds
then add roughly diced half onion
don't use too much onion because we are going to add lots of veggies
cook it for only 1-2 mins
don't make it too dark
now we will add all the veggies
today i am using little bit of carrot
then roughly diced half capsicum
and handful of corns
sometimes i add more of corns because my kids love it
you can adjust the quantities of veggies as you like
you can add any veggies you like other than i have added
and the ones you don't like, simply skip it
there is no rule to use only these veggies
at this point, you can even add mushrooms or chicken
don't over cook the veggies
let your veggies be little bit crunchy
because we have to cook it with sauce too
now i am adding little bit of salt
and half teaspoon of black pepper powder
mix everything well
now switch off the flame and keep the veggies aside
now let's make white sauce
take four tablespoon of butter
this is regular salted butter
and keep the flame on medium
so that butter doesn't get burnt
once the butter gets melted
add four tablespoon of all purpose flour
and keep mixing on low to medium flame
so that it doesn't get burn
we have to cook like this for 3-4 mins
untill the rawness is completely gone
it will turn little gold brown in color
you will get to know that flour is cooked
keep in mind to cook it on low to medium flame
one more important tip
ratio of butter & all purpose flour needs to be same
to prepare white sauce pasta
lots of my friends have asked me
about the quantity of butter and flour to make white sauce
because some people add too much of flour and less of butter
so the sauce turns out very thick and raw
to avoid that keep the ratio same
it will help to make your sauce lump free and cremy
the flour has been cooked well
it's been four mins i am cooking this
now we will start adding milk into it
add milk slowly slowly
and keep mixing simultaneously
so that there is no lumps in the sauce
if you want you can turn the flame low
i am using two cup of milk here
after sometime sauce will start getting thicker
but we have to cook a little more
it is not yet perfect white creamy sauce
we have to continously cook it after removing all the lumps
so at this stage we will add some salt
half a teaspoon of black pepper powder
half teaspoon red chillie flakes
half teaspoon mixed herbs seasoning
mix everything well
cook the sauce little more on a medium flame
untill it comes to a boil
but how you will come to know at what stage you have to add pasta
so for that, one more important tip
whenever you dip spoon into the sauce
and back of the spoon coats the sauce completely
just like i am doing here
this is perfect consistency to add pasta
follow this thumb rule
consistency shouldn't be very thick or very liquidy
if your sauce is very thick
it won't coat pasta properly
means your pasta won't be able to cook properly in very thick sauce
that's why sauce should be of perfect consistency to cook pasta
now add all the cooked veggies
then add boiled pasta
now toss everything well
and cook it while stirring in between
so that veggies and pasta gets coat well with the sauce
and absorbs all the flavours
if you find your sauce thicker, you can add two tablespoon of warm milk or regular milk
we are going to cook it for 2-3 mins
don't over cook it otherwise it will get all mushy
so, don't over cook it
now i am adding everyone's favourite ingredient-cheese
i have used 3-4 tablespoon of grated cheese
you can add as much qauntity of cheese as you want
beacause sometimes you deserve a treat for yourself
whenever i make this pasta, i feel like let me have as much as i want today,
will see about the diet from tomorrow
does that kind of thoughts come in your mind too?
let me know in comment section
so cheese has been completely melted
switch off the flame
and serve it piping hot
look how beautiful, smooth and creamy it is
you can figure that out even in the video
adding extra red chillie flakes
little bit more of mixed herbs seasoning
and last my favourite grated cheese
forgot to tell you guys one thing
the authentic pasta which is served in restaurants or in Italy
consists that much sauce only which coats pasta
our pasta is ready
i am sure my kids are going to dig into it
