Introduction
A rich, creamy, and cheesy cafe-style pasta recipe featuring penne tossed in a smooth, velvety white sauce made from scratch. It is packed with vibrant sautéed vegetables, making it a comforting and flavorful dish.
Step 1
Bring water to a rolling boil in a pot. Add 1 tsp of salt and 2 cups of penne pasta. Cook until it is 90% done (al dente), then drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a wide pan, heat 2 tsp of oil and 3 cubes of unsalted butter.
Step 3
Add 5 chopped garlic cloves, 1 chopped onion, 2 tbsp chopped carrots, 1/4 cup chopped green capsicum, 1/4 cup chopped red capsicum, and 1 cup of cooked corn kernels. Sauté all the vegetables for a few minutes.
Step 4
Season the vegetables with 1/2 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of pepper, 1 tsp of Italian seasoning, and 1 tsp of chilli flakes. Mix well.
Step 5
Add the cooked pasta to the sautéed vegetables. Toss to combine, then turn off the heat and set aside.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always add milk gradually in batches while whisking constantly to keep the white sauce completely lump-free.
Cook the pasta to al dente (90% done) as it will cook further when simmered in the white sauce.
Serve the pasta hot immediately after cooking, as the white sauce tends to thicken quickly as it cools.
