Penne Pasta in White sauce.

Friends this is a shortcut for making yummy pasta quickly with very few easy steps! Perfect for Novice cooks out there! Hope this helps you all out.
I was not keeping well yesterday and was in no mood to chop any vegetables nor did I feel like boiling chicken chunks.
So, this is how I made my pasta which my daughter loved it so much that she compared it with the pasta we eat out in restaurants. It was really simple. But tasted quite nice.

Ingredients:

  • 250 grams of penne pasta
  • 2 cups of milk (toned milk)
  • 3 tsp of cornflour
  • 1 tbsp of basil (dried)
  • 1 tbsp of homemade pepper powder
  • 8-9 cloves of garlic
  • Salt to taste
  • Butter 
  • Olive oil 

Procedure:

  • Boil the pasta well but Don't boil it too much that it becomes soggy and breaks when u saute them, but they shouldn't be very chewy either. Mix some olive oil into the pasta so that the pasta does not stick together & keep it aside.
  • Now take a bowl and mix 3 tsp of cornflour and milk. Make a smooth paste so that no lumps are formed.
  • Then warm up 3 tbsp of butter in a wok/sauce pan and fry the chopped garlic for a few minutes, then add the powdered basil and pepper powder.
  • Saute them for another minute and then add the cornflour and milk mixture into the pan.
  • After a while when you feel the consistency is getting thicker add another cup of milk to the sauce.
  • Bring it to boil and then add the boiled pasta to the sauce. Mix it properly.
  • Add salt according to your taste at this point.
Note: Depending on the type of your milk you are using you can increase the quantity (more if toned/skimmed milk, less if its creamy already)

I have not used cheese in this pasta dish but you can add grated cheese, of your liking from the top with some chilly flakes too.

  2. Whole grain organic rice is an excellent source of healthy nutrients such as fiber, phytochemicals, and essential minerals while lower in calories. Not only do whole grains promote good digestion and healthy weight management, but they may help reduce the risk of heart disease and certain cancers.
