White Sauce For Pasta Recipes

WHITE SAUCE PASTA RECIPE

Steps:

• Boil raw pasta according to the instructions given on the package or follow following instructions; Take 4-5 cups water in deep sauce pan, bring it to boil over medium flame. When it start boiling, add 3/4 cup Penne pasta and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
• Boil them until al-dente (cooked but not very soft). It will take around 10-12 minutes. To check whether pasta is cooked or not, take one pasta in a fork and bite it. If it is little firm to bite, it is cooked. If it is too hard to bite, it requires more cooking.
• Transfer cooked pasta to a large colander and drain excess water.
• While pasta is cooking, heat 1/2 teaspoon oil in a pan or kadai over high flame. Add 1/4 cup chopped carrot, 1/4 cup chopped green capsicum, 1/4 cup chopped red capsicum, 1/4 cup chopped broccoli and salt.
• Stir and cook until veggies are little cooked but still crunchy, for around 2-3 minutes. Turn off the flame and transfer them to a plate.
• Heat 1½ tablespoons butter in the same pan or kadai over medium flame. Add 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
• Add 1½ tablespoons maida (all purpose flour).
• Stir continuously and cook for a minute.
• Pour 1½ cups milk little by little while stirring continuously with a whisk.
• Stir and mix for 1-2 minutes.
• Reduce flame to low. Continue stirring and cooking until mixture starts to thicken. It will take around 3-4 minutes depending on the size and thickness of the pan. When mixture starts to coat the back of a spoon as shown in the picture here, it means that it has started to thicken.
• Add 1/4 teaspoon oregano, 1/4 teaspoon red chilli flakes, a pinch of black pepper powder and salt.
• Mix well.
• Add sautéed vegetables and pasta.
• Turn off the flame. Mix well.

EASY WHITE SAUCE FOR PASTA

Steps:

• In a large deep sauce or frying pan: Melt butter on MEDIUM LOW heat! Nice and slow! I tend to think mine will get done faster if I turn up the heat a bit and I ALWAYS burn my butter -- Learn from my mistakes! GO SLOW!
• Whisk in flour til it is a smooth, slightly thickened, liquid. Typically refered to as a "rue". This may take slighly more OR LESS than 1/4 c flour. It should be completely smooth and still liquid though!
• Add 1/4 c milk (more or less). WHISK! DON'T STOP WHISKING! Your liquid will become an almost immobile mass in your pan. YAY! :) Keep adding milk til you are comfortable with the texture.
• Add Chicken Broth SLOWLY as with with the milk whisking the whole time. Your looking for a slightly thinner sauce than you'll want over all because the cheeses will begin to thicken it and as it cools, it gets even thicker still. Most will probably already know these steps as it's fairly common procedure but I HAD to list them for those of you who have not experienced this method. Alot of gravy's, soup's, and sauces will call for similar treatment. And who doesn't LOVE butter!? Don't answer that -- My husband doesn't! lol But he loves this recipe!
• Now add your cheeses, garlic, parsley, and pepper. WHISK! lol
• TASTE TEST! If your eyes don't close in a quick moment of bliss, you probably need a little more cheese or spice! :) Also: This would be when you add things like pepared diced chicken or shrimp or veggies, just continue on medium low heat til warmed through. ENJOY!
