Ingredients
White sauce :
2 table spoon maida/fine flour
2 small cloves of garlic
1 table spoon butter
2 table spoons olive oil
11/2 cups milk full cream/toned
half cup water
salt to taste
3 pinches of black pepper
Pasta :
Any paste of your choice
broccoli cut in big pieces and steamed
French Beans cut in big pieces and steamed
Long sliced bell peppers( Green yellow and Red)
One Thick sliced Onion ( Big Pieces)
Mushrooms ( which ever type you prefer)
sweet corns steamed
peas steamed
5 to 6 garlic cloves
salt black pepper
chilly flakes a few
basil leaves
thyme leaves
sliced olive green and black
olive oil
White sauce Recipe :
take a pan on very low heat add olive oil to it and on top of it add the butter.
Let the butter melt down and add flour/maida.
roast the flour for 2 minutes on the same low heat, so that it does not change its color to brown at all.. make sure it doesn't go brown.
while the flour is getting roasted also add crushed/grated garlic to it so that it roasts with flour and the rawness is removed.
Now add black pepper.
Remove it from the flame /heat
While stirring continuously add milk which is at the room temperature, to avoid lumps. In order to completely avoid lumps its better to use Egg Beater instead of a regular spatula, while stirring while milk is added.
Keep stirring , after adding all the milk put the pan back to heat/flame.
keep stirring and keep the heat to medium now.
you will observe the the milk is getting thicker because of the flour, if required you can add half a cup of water to this mixture, so as to not to keep the consistency very thick and heavy. Let few boils come to cook the mixture keep stirring it till the end.
you will notice that the oil has risen to the top once it is cooked properly
Add salt to taste for seasoning.
Pasta Recipe:
Boil Paste till all dente
Take a big heavy bottom pan and put in medium flame.
Add olive oil , to it add crushed garlic.
Don't let the garlic go brown, and add sliced Mushrooms to it. Once the mushrooms are cooked and have released all water and start to shine, add the rest of the steamed veggies. stir for few seconds, we don't have to cook them for long as they are already cooked. Now add the bell peppers and Thick sliced Onions.
Mix well add Salt and black pepper to taste.
Add both the herbs.
Add boiled pasta and cook for 1 minute no more .
Now add the white sauce and mix well.
At this stage if you think white sauce is quick thick, add some more milk to pasta, and mix well.
Serve Hot and garnish it with some chilly flakes, sliced olives and fresh basil / parsley!!
enjoy...:-)
