Whenever we go to any Italian restaurant, we normally like to order pasta in white sauce . Somehow we are not very fond of the tanginess of red sauces with pasta. So I make pasta at home mostly in white sauce. Sharing this simple recipe with you all today, I am sure your kids and you will love this recipe as the ingredients used here will give the taste and flavour not less than that of a restaurant. Just try once and please give your feedback.
Ingredients:
Spaghetti pasta: 200 gms
Milk: 2 cups
White flour/Maida: 1 1/2 tbsp.
Cream: 3 tspn
Oregano: 1 tspn
Butter: 2 tbsp.
Crushed garlic: 1 tbsp.
Crushed black pepper: 1 tsp
Chilly flakes: 1tsp
Salt to taste
Cheese: 2 tbsp. grated (you can use more if you want)
Red & yellow capsicum cut into julienne (1/2 cup approx)
Cherry tomato: 4-5 numbers
Few fresh Basil Leaves
Oil to cook (I use olive oil in pasta, you can also use any other cooking veg oil)
Method:
Cook the pasta in water and salt in a saucepan. Do not overcook the pasta, else the crunchiness while biting wont be there. Once it is cooked , remove from the gas and strain the water and keep under running cold tape water to stop the process of further cooking of the pasta.
In a non-stick pan, melt butter and add the crushed garlic. Saute it and add the maida . Keep stirring continuously in low flame, keeping in mind that the maida/flour should not change its colour at all. Once you see the flour is cooking, add the milk and mix it nicely and keeping in mind that this wont form any lumps. Flame to keep in low. After cooking for 1-2 minutes, add the cream into this mixture. Stir properly and you will see the mixture taking a thin creamy texture. Now add the oregano, chilly flakes, crushed pepper and salt and give it a nice mix. Put the gas off then. Remember one thing that this sauce should not be very very thick. It should reach only a running consistency.
Your white sauce is now ready. Keep this aside.
Take another pan , heat small amount of oil. Saute the pieces of red & yellow capsicum and the cherry tomatoes. We do not have to cook them completely. We only need to saute them. After 2-3 minutes, put the gas off.
Now back to the white sauce. Put it on to the gas again. Add the cooked Spaghetti, capsicums & cherry tomatoes and mix them all very nicely. Now sprinkle the grated cheese on the top of this pasta.
Present this pasta in white sauce in a beautiful plate and garnish with some fresh roughly chopped basil leaves and serve hot.
