Vegetable pasta in white sauce gets made at home often and is liked by everyone. My son loves it very much. White sauce originated from the Italian and French cuisines and is a base for many other sauce recipes. It is used in the preparation of various dishes like pasta, lasagna and pies. In this white sauce pasta recipe, I have added vegetables like different colored bell peppers 🌶 and carrots. You can use your choice of veggies in the pasta 🍝 like broccoli, mushrooms 🍄, peas, baby corn 🌽. Though I have used penne pasta 🍝 to prepare this recipe, you can replace it with any pasta of your choice. For the seasoning, I have added oregano 🌿. you can add your choice of preferred herbs or just fresh coriander leaves. For the flavor, I have added a pinch of nutmeg powder. Use boiled and warm milk, after adding milk make sure that you keep stirring the sauce until it turns thick and smooth.
