how to sauté vegetables

  1. To make easy cheesy vegetable pasta recipe | Indian style cheesy penne pasta | cheesy white sauce pasta | heat 1 tbsp butter in a broad non-stick pan. Butter adds a buttery, savory flavor and this creates a creamy and velvety texture that coats the pasta perfectly.

how to proceed

  1. Heat the remaining 2 tbsp butter in a deep pan.
  2. Add 1½ tbsp plain flour (maida). When you cook plain flour with butter or oil, it forms a roux. This roux acts as a thickening agent for the sauce. As you gradually add milk or cream to the roux while whisking, the flour molecules absorb the liquid, creating a smooth and velvety sauce.
  3. Mix well and cook on a medium flame for a minute.
  4. Add 1½ cups milk. Milk adds richness and creaminess to the sauce, making it smooth and luscious. It helps to coat the pasta and vegetables evenly, creating a delightful mouthfeel.
