What You Will Need:

Pasta: 2 cups (penne, macaroni, or of choice)
Butter: 2 tablespoons
Flour: 2 tablespoons
Milk: 2 cups (warm)
Garlic: 2 cloves, minced (optional but it works so well)
Cheese: ½ cup, shredded (optional, but do I really need to say how little I don’t want)
Salt and Pepper: To taste
Oregano/Italian Seasoning: 1 teaspoon (optional but highly recommended)
Chili Flakes: ½ teaspoon (optional for an added kick)
Vegetables: Bell peppers, corn, broccoli, mushrooms use whatever quantity you like or omit them

Prepare the Pasta
Begin by having boiling water in a pan. Add oil droplets and salt so that pasta will not cling. Add your pasta and boil for roughly 8-10 minutes or until it gets softened but is firm enough that excellent “al dente” flavor. Then drain water and let the pasta cool down.

Prepare White Sauce
Finally for the magic! Melt butter low heat in a pan. Add garlic and fry for some seconds until it smells totally divine. Stir in the flour and stir for seconds. Fry for 1-2 minutes until the flour is pale golden.

Now gradually add the warm milk stirring constantly. This helps the sauce not to become lumpy and stay smooth. Stir until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy. Trust me, this is where the magic happens!

Add Flavor
Time to season! Add salt, pepper, oregano, and chili flakes. Give it a good stir. If you’re a cheese lover, now’s the time to add that grated goodness. Stir until the cheese melts into the sauce, making it even creamier.

Step 4: Toss in Some Veggies (Optional)
Care to make brighter or healthier? Sauté some vegetables of your choice with some butter for a few minutes. They should be slightly crunchy still because it adds a good texture to the pasta. Stir in with the white sauce after it is cooked.

Mix the Pasta
And the final flourish now. Place your cooked pasta carefully into your white creamy sauce. Each piece of pasta with the rich sauce. Simmer for an additional minute so the flavors all combine.

Serve and Enjoy
Your white sauce pasta is now served! Serve hot and, if desired, top with a sprinkle of extra cheese or chili flakes.
