Pasta is a most welcoming dish at my home and i generally make it with Home made Sauce and usually pack it for kids lunch box or sometimes for weeknight Dinner too. Usually i make pasta in this way but my kiddos love the pasta in white sauce too. Most of the times i make it either for lunch box or dinner and i couldn’t click the pictures, but two days back i made Penne pasta in White sauce and gave them for evening tiffin after they are back from school. Normally i try to include little bit of veggies in this as they will not fuss eating veggies if i put them in pasta. For Recipe of white sauce pasta click Here. INGREDIENTS (Serves 3 )
| PENNE PASTA | 1 AND 1/2 CUP |
| WHITE SAUCE | 1 CUP |
| MIXED VEGGIES | 3/4 CUP |
| OLIVE OIL | 1 TBLSP |
| OREGANOPOWDER | 1/2 TSP |
| BLACK PEPPER | TO TASTE |
| SALT | AS NEEDED |
| CAPSICUM (CHOPPED) | 1 TBLSP |
| PARMESAN CHEESE | 1 TBLSP(FOR GARNISHING) |
METHOD:
- Chop the veggies finely (i used carrot,green peas, corn and broccoli)
- Boil the veggies in little water by adding little salt to this.
- Do not over cook, let the veggies be crunchy.
- Cook the pasta as per the instructions by adding salt and few drops of olive oil.
- Drain the water and run the pasta thro cold water.
- In a sauce pan, add oil and add the capsicum and saute for a minute.
- Add the veggies to this and saute for few seconds and add the oregano and pepper powder.
- Add the white sauce to this and mix well.
- Let this boil for a minute.
- Add the cooked pasta to this and give it a nice stir gently.
- After 2 minutes switch off the flame.
- Serve it hot by sprinkling little parmesan cheese on the top .( i didn’t have cheese in hand , so i didn’t add)
Note:
- You can soak the pasta in water for 10 minutes before cooking which will ensure easy and fast cooking.
- You can veggies of your own choice.
- You can add red chilli flakes to this while serving if you want this little spicy.

Hi,
Can you confirm what kind of olive oil to use in this? Is it always extra virgin or the normal one is acceptable for cooking? Your response could help me!! Thanks in advance!
Tried it out and it came out really well. My kid loved it.
