Bechamel Sauce Pasta
When Alaguchitra from Cake Moments posted this recipe in a FB group with mushrooms I wanted to try it.Yeah!I am a lover of pasta. I readily had stock of whole wheat fusilli from Fab India. And there you go one of the best pasta recipes I have ever made/had. Bechamel Sauce is white sauce in a thicker version from the French Kitchen. So this is a fusion dish combining Italian & French cuisines.

4. Switch off and add the flour and blend well without any lumps.
5. Now add to the stovetop , add milk, pepper, a pinch of salt and keep stirring continuously to form a thick sauce. This will take hardly two minutes. Ensure no lumps formation.

P.S:
You can add shredded cheddar to make it richer.
I added a quarter more cup of milk to reduce the thickness of the sauce.
Low flame and continuously stirring are the keys for the right sauce.
You can add a drop of oil while boiling pasta.
Gently toss and don’t stir vigorously after adding pasta to the sauce.
