Method

• To prepare Penne Pasta In White Sauce Recipe, heat enough water in a large pan , add salt and oil to it. Once the water boils add pasta and cook it uncovered until it's soft. Keep stirring in between.

• Strain the cooked pasta  and reserve 1 cup of the water in which the pasta is cooked. (this starchy water will be used further to thin the sauce)

• In a sauce pan melt butter on a low flame and add all purpose flour to it. Roast the flour well for about a minute. do not let it turn red.

• Add 1/2 cup of  full cream milk slowly, as you stir the flour continuously so that it blends well with the milk without forming lumps.

• Now stir in remaining milk and allow the sauce to boil and thicken. Season it with seasoning,black pepper powder, salt and chilly flakes. (be careful while adding salt as veggies and pasta also have salt).

• Lastly add grated cheese, mix well and cook for a while and put off the flame. The white sauce is ready. If the sauce appears lumpy and thick, add hot water( we reserved in step 1 ) to thin it. Allow the sauce to simmer until desired consistency is reached.

• Meanwhile heat oil in another pan and add  garlic, onion for one minute. Now add the boiled sweet corn kernels and other veggies and saute for 1-2 minutes. Season the veggies with salt and black paper . Add the boiled pasta & fry it till a more minute.Do not over cook the bell peppers and broccoli. Veggies give a nice crunch to the creamy pasta.

• Add the white sauce and stir well. Garnish with basil or spring onion leaves.Serve Penne Pasta in White Sauce immediately.
