White Sauce Pasta


  White sauce pasta, also known as Alfredo pasta, is a homemade dish made with a creamy white sauce containing butter, milk, and mozzarella cheese. It can be customized with various ingredients, like vegetables or seasoning, to add flavor and texture.

 Here's a basic recipe for making white sauce pasta:

Ingredients:


For the White Sauce:


  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (maida)

  • 2 cups milk

  • oregano

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese


For the Pasta:

  • 225g pasta ( fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti)

  • 2 tablespoon Salt

  • 1 tablespoon oil

  • Optional additions: sautéed vegetables (mushrooms, spinach, peas), herbs (parsley, basil), etc.


Instructions:
    • Cook the Pasta:

      • In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
