This pasta with velvety cheesy white sauce is one of the favourite weekend dinner recipes at my home. Who on earth would not love a warm bowl of pasta, toasted garlic bread and some white wine for dinner (absolute bliss!!<\/em>). The best part about this recipe is you can add any seasonal vegetables to this pasta to make it more nutritious and filling.<\/p>\n

You can use penne, spaghetti, linguine, fusilli, farfalle<\/strong> or any variety of pasta in this recipe. These days gluten free pasta, lentil pasta, chickpea pasta<\/strong> and whole wheat pasta<\/strong> are also available in market. You can also try this recipe with them.<\/p>\n

I have added here some caramelised onions, mushrooms and crunchy broccoli to add flavour and texture to white sauce. Other vegetables like bell peppers, cauliflower, baby corn, black olives<\/strong> also taste great in this pasta recipe. If you like broccoli or cauliflower to be soft,  you can blanche or boil them before adding in pasta.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s white sauce made of?<\/h2>\n

The sauce which we usually refer to as \u2018White Sauce<\/strong>\u2018 is actually B\u00e9chamel sauce<\/strong>. Its main ingredients are flour, butter, milk, and is known to be one of the \u2018mother sauces<\/strong>\u2018 in French cuisine. To make bechamel cheese sauce, some good quality grated parmesan, cheddar or processed cheese is added it. Cheese gives a lovely creaminess and richness to the sauce.<\/p>\n

How to make vegan white sauce pasta?<\/h3>\n

To make vegan bechamel sauce, use vegan butter and plant based milk like almond or soy milk. Instead of vegan butter, you can even use some olive oil. Rest of the recipe will remain the same.<\/p>\n

Can I use whole wheat flour in making white sauce?<\/h3>\n

If you are trying to avoid all purpose flour or maida, then you can definitely use whole wheat flour in this recipe. However with whole wheat I have noticed the sauce gets light brown in colour. <\/p>\n

How to make white sauce?<\/h3>\n

To make white sauce, we begin by heating butter in a pan. Once the butter is melted, we add flour to it and roast the flour while continuously stirring till it slightly changes its colour. This is done on medium-low flame as we don\u2019t want the butter or flour to burn.<\/p>\n

This mixture of fat and flour is called \u2018roux<\/strong>\u2018 and is used for thickening gravies or sauces. We then gradually add milk to it while whisking and cook the sauce till it becomes thick and velvety.<\/p>\n

Traditionally salt, white pepper and a pinch of nutmeg<\/strong> are added in a b\u00e9chamel (or white sauce) but here I have used crushed black pepper instead of white pepper and added few dried herbs too like oregano and thyme.<\/p>\n

Apart from regular pasta, you can even use this bechamel sauce in lasagana or casserole<\/a><\/strong><\/span> recipes. <\/p>\n

People often get confused between Alfredo vs B\u00e9chamel sauce<\/strong>. However they are quite different as Alfredo is made with butter, parmesan and heavy cream.<\/p>\n
