Pasta in white sauce

This is a simple and super easy recipe for the days when you want a break from the normal menu. Its tastes heavenly and yeah to make sure that "S" - the husband, has his fill of veggies I added some mushroom and broccoli  to it. If u think you have been eating healthy enough for the whole week then you might as well skip the veggies... but the recipe is a must try and the taste of the white sauce will keep you yearning for more... so here comes the recipe...

Ingredients:-

Pasta - 1 cup (I used bow tie pasta)

Broccoli florets - 1/4 cup

Mushroom - 1/4 cup (I used button mushroom)

Olive oil - 1 teaspoon

Salt - To taste

For the sauce -

Butter - 2 teaspoon

Garlic - 1 teaspoon (minced)

Red chilli flakes - To taste

Dijon Mustard - 1 teaspoon

Oregano - 1/4 teaspoon

Flour - 2 tablespoon

Heavy cream - 2 tablespoon

Milk - 1 cup

Process :-

Cook the pasta as per pack instructions. Drain and keep aside. 

In a pan, heat the olive oil and saute the mushroom and the broccoli till it becomes little soft. Take it off the flame and keep it aside.

Now melt the butter in the same pan and saute the garlic on a low flame for about 30 seconds. Now add the flour to the butter and garlic. This is to ensure that the raw taste of flour goes away, however take extra care not to burn the garlic or the flour, it should remain white and needs to be sautéed in a very low flame.

Add the milk to the flour and keep stirring so that no lumps are formed. Now add the mustard, chilli flakes and the oregano. Once the mixture comes to a simmer add the cream, pasta, mushroom and broccoli. Give it a good simmer for another 2 mins and stirring continuously and then take it off the flame. Yo may add freshly grounded black pepper if you wish to.

Let the pasta stand for about 5 mins and then all you have to do is take a fork and dig into the amazilicious pasta in white sauce with some one u love !!!
