1 cup of boiled pasta 1 ½ cups of whole milk (room temperature preferred) 1 ½ tbsp all-purpose-flour 2 tbsp of butter ¼ chopped carrots ½ cup boiled corn kernels ⅛  cup of green peas ¼ cup of capsicum ¼ cup of bell peppers ½ tbsp refined oil (less scented oil) 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped ½ tbsp oregano 1 tbsp chilli flakes Cheese Salt to taste Black pepper to taste

Step 1

Take a non-stick pan and heat oil over a medium flame. Add carrot, bell pepper, capsicum, peas, and corn kernels.

Step 2

Sauté the vegetables for 5-6 minutes. Take them from the pan and keep them aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, add butter, and as soon as the butter melts, add garlic. Sauté it for 20-30 secs.

Step 4

Add all-purpose flour slowly.  Mix it with the garlic-butter mixture until it loses the raw smell.

Step 5

Turn down the flame to low heat and start pouring milk in batches so that there aren’t any lumps in the mixture.

Step 6

Once smooth, add cheese to the sauce. Let it cook. Add salt, black pepper, chilli flakes and oregano. Mix it well.

Step 7

Turn off the heat. Add boiled pasta and veggies into the white sauce. Mix everything and close the lid.

Step 8

That’s it, your lip-smacking desi-style white sauce pasta! Enjoy it while it's hot and creamy.
