Notes
Shilpi’s Quick Tricks
- 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.
