Preparation method:

Making of white sauce:

  1. Heat butter in a pan, once butter starts melting add maida/all purpose flour and reduce the flame. Saute till it starts releasing butter from the sides of the pan and at the same time do not burn maida.
  2. Add milk little by little and stir continuously so that no lumps are formed. Once the mixture is a smooth paste, add Cheese, salt, pepper, oregano and basil; mix well and cook for a minute or so(do not cook for long as it will start to thicken). Add more milk if you want thin white sauce.
  3. Switch off the flame and transfer it into a bowl for using it in pasta.

Notes:

  • If the white sauce becomes lumpy, pass it through a sieve to get rid of the lumps.
  • Do not over cook the white sauce because more you cook more thick it will become. We need our sauce to be thin (little watery) in texture.
  • You can also cook green peas separately in a pan and mix it with pasta and white sauce.
