White Sauce Pasta with Vegetables is an easy, delicious recipe of pasta in a bechamel sauce with loads of vegetables. Simple, comforting and delicious! A perfect weekday meal!
Béchamel is a white sauce prepared with butter, flour and milk. The basic technique is to make a roux by cooking flour with butter. The roux is then blended with milk, and seasonings to make the sauce. At times cheese, or hot sauce is added to flavour the bechamel. For this recipe, I have prepared the cheesy version of the classic béchamel. It goes perfectly with rainbow vegetables and pasta.
Growing up my mother would often make white sauce especially in the winters and make Au Gratin or Macaroni Cheese for us. It was a special treat and something we often looked forward to! For this recipe, I have use fusilli. Fusilli is a spiral or corkscrew shaped pasta. You can use your favourite pasta or whatever you have at hand. I love using fusilli because of its twists, it has grooves that are good for holding onto sauce and when you take a bite, the pasta is oozing with sauce. This my one of the dishes which is on ‘comfort food’ list for my daughter. I like to serve it with a side of garlic bread for that perfect comforting meal.
