Description
White sauce pasta is a creamy and comforting Italian dish made with pasta tossed in a rich, velvety béchamel sauce. The sauce, also known as white sauce, is made by cooking butter and flour together to form a roux, then slowly whisking in milk to create a smooth, thick consistency. The addition of garlic, black pepper, and nutmeg enhances the flavor, while grated cheese like Parmesan or mozzarella adds richness. The pasta can be customized with vegetables such as mushrooms, broccoli, and bell peppers, or proteins like chicken or shrimp.
