Pasta in White Sauce

     Recently me become a crazy fan of paneer ad pasta dishes. So, started trying/googling new versions in it. In that way, its my long time thinking to try white sauce at home. During my early cooking days, thought "White Sauce" can be made only in star hotels. But now i can see many bloggers started using white sauce in their dishes, It forced me to try this at home finally.

ALL YOU NEED:

Pasta	1 cup
Italian Seasoning	1/2 tsp
Pepper Powder	1/2 tsp
Grated Cheese	1 tbsp
Veggies	1 cup
Butter	1 tbsp
Maida	2 tblsp
Milk	1 1/2 cup
Salt	To Taste

METHOD:
     Cook pasta (i used kids pasta) in hot water along with a spoon of olive oil and salt. Drain the excess water and set aside. Heat a spoon of butter in a pan, add the veggies (used capsicum, beans and carrot), saute it by adding salt and pepper powder. Since i added beans, i kept in flame until it gets cooked. If you are using only capsicum and carrot, just sauting is enough. Once cooked, transfer it to a plate, Now in the same, melt another spoon of butter, now add maida, saute well until it reaches sand consistency. Now add milk slowly, keep stirring and make sure there should not be any lumps. When it reaches thick consistency, add pepper powder, italian seasoning and salt. Now its time to add sauted veggies and cheese. Stir well. Adjust with salt. All done.

Even now its like "Greek" rather telling as "Greek and Latin" which means, now i know some dishes using pasta :P Now coming to the dish, This i purely made for my lil one. Instead of adding spices, i added only cheese and Tomato ketchup to this dish. Since it has only countable ingredients, preparation time is just 5 mins excluding pasta cooking time. I can proudly say this is one among my "Newly Excavated" dish :P which gives real meaning to my Blog title "RECIPE EXCAVATOR".
