Pasta in fresh made white sauce with an easy recipe where pasta is cooked with lots of veggies and fresh white sauce is flavored with lots of herbs. This white sauce pasta recipe is always an hit among children. My kids love pastas so I often make it for them in many different ways, like in white sauce, red sauce and sometimes in a very special Indian spicy sauce.
In this recipe, pasta is simmered in creamy white sauce and veggies and spiced with herbs and nutmeg. Sinfully delicious! To reduce the guilt I have used the pasta which is made with veggie puree :-D. You can also check my Indian style pasta and veg pasta soup recipes. They are also super yummy and quick. To make this delicious white sauce pasta I have used veggies like carrots, mushrooms, capsicum broccoli but you can also use other veggies as well like corns, zucchini, cauliflower or any other veggies of your choice. If you want to decrease the cooking time you can also use frozen veggies. Just thaw them before using.

Notes
- Do not add oil while boiling the pasta. Oil makes pasta slippery and sauce will not stick properly to the pasta.
- Reserve some pasta water for later use. White sauce tends to become thick as it cools down. You can add this reserved pasta water instead of plain water to keep the right consistency of sauce.
- While making white sauce make sure to stir it thoroughly while adding milk otherwise lumps may form and sauce will not taste good.
- I have added little nutmeg powder in sauce which gives nice zing to pasta. I really recommend to us it for better taste.
- You can use fresh or dry herbs in this recipe.
