To make white sauce pasta recipe, you can make fresh white sauce as I did here or you can prepare the white sauce one day before and store. Just add the sauteed vegetables and boiled pasta while serving. The white sauce recipe used in this pasta does not contain cheese. I have not added any cheese here unlike my cheese corn toast recipe. This white sauce is so rich, creamy and smooth even without cheese and white sauce pasta turns out very rich tasty and creamy without any cheese. It turns out very close to Italian white sauce pasta recipe.
In this white sauce pasta recipe, I have added vegetables like different colored bell peppers, sweet corn kernels and carrots. You can even add onions, broccoli florets, baby corns and more. The key for making perfect white sauce pasta is making perfect white sauce. Make sure to do the whole preparation in low flame. Use boiled and cooled milk, after adding milk make sure that you keep stirring the sauce until it turns thick and smooth. If you want to add cheese in your white sauce recipe, add it towards the end and switch off the flame once you add the cheese.
Here is how to make white sauce pasta recipe, a delightful lunch/dinner that toddlers and kids will adore. You can use whole wheat pasta, but the flour used in white sauce cannot be replaced with wheat I guess. So it is better to eat this in moderation and once in a while.
