White Sauce Pasta | Béchamel sauce

White Sauce Pasta | Béchamel sauce

Béchamel is one of the five mother sauces. And it is the most basic one. White sauce pasta, cheese sauce pasta, crème sauce pasta etc. are all its derivatives. So, this recipe is going to be about white sauce pasta.
To make béchamel sauce, you first need to prepare roux(white roux). Roux is a mixture of equal amount of flour(APF) and butter. Furthermore flavored and warm milk is added. Watch my YouTube Video for further explanation. These proportions are enough for preparing 5 to 6 portions of pasta. You can store this sauce in refrigeration and to use this next time add a little warm milk again to get it back to the original consistency.

INGREDIENTS:

For the sauce:

  • ·         3 tbsp APF
  • ·         3 tbsp butter
  • ·         425 – 450 ml milk
  • ·         1 med. Onion
  • ·         6 -7 cloves
  • ·         1-2 bay leaves
  • ·         Salt
  • ·         Black pepper powder

For the pasta:

  • ·         Béchamel sauce
  • ·         Veggies ( I used bell pepper and sweet corn)
  • ·         Pasta ( I used penne)
  • ·         Oil 2 – 3 tbsp
  •        Italian seasoning

   METHOD:

For the sauce:

  • ·         Take a saucepan, pour milk, add onion, cloves and bay leaves to it. Bring it to a boil. Keep aside.
  • ·         To make roux, heat a pan, add APF and butter, mix thoroughly (don’t let it brown). Add flavored milk little by little. Stir continuously making sure there are no lumps. Keep the flame on low to avoid burning.
    • Bechamel sauce
    Roux
  •         To check if the sauce is ready, check if it coats the back of the spoon and if you run your finger through it it should 

For the pasta:

  • ·         Boil pasta. Don’t forget to add salt and drizzle some oil to prevent sticking.
  • ·         On other pan, sauté veggies, season with salt and black pepper.
  • ·         Take two ladles of prepared béchamel sauce, add to the sautéed veggies.
  • ·         Add boiled pasta. Mix well.
  • ·         Add seasonings. Serve.

You can also add cheese (Parmesan , cheddar etc.) to turn it into cheese sauce pasta or fresh crème to turn it into crème sauce pasta.
What I do to MY pasta is I add 2 slices if AMUL cheese and broil it. That is my personal serving suggestion and I totally love it!
So, sometimes you need to ditch the old and regular tikkas and kebabs, and try such international delicacies where you can just enjoy the simple, subtle yet delicious dishes at your home. <3
