Pasta with Creamy Sauce
Learn how to make a creamy sauce with this step by step recipe.
Ingredients
250g Diamond Pasta (Lasagne noodle or any pasta of your choice)
50g Butter (if you don’t have you can use olive oil instead)
50g Flour (whatever flour you have lying around the pantry)
500ml Milk (can use dairy, alternative or pasta water if you prefer)
½ cup Chicken Stock (optional)
1 tsp Mustard Powder (optional)
A handful of chopped herbs from the garden (optional)
Pinch of Salt & Cracked Pepper
A handful of Grated Cheese (optional)
Method
In a deep, heavy-based saucepan, melt the butter over medium to low heat.
Turn up the heat slightly and stir in the flour to make a roux. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes.
Gradually stir the milk and stock into the roux, whisking little bits at a time, making sure to get rid of all the lumps. Bring to the boil, stirring continuously. This will take 5-10 minutes.
Simmer, stirring well for another 5 minutes. During this time keep stirring to ensure it does not catch on the base of the pot. Season to taste.
Serve with cooked pasta of your choice and top with fresh herbs and grated cheese!
