White sauce pasta is yummy breakfast, lunch, and dinner, kids love this and enjoy it when it is in the lunch box. It is an awesome dish when you are bored with regular lunch and dinner, it is so simple to prepare it, cook pasta, stirfry veggies and make a fresh white sauce, mix everything, that’s it. How is easy it is to prepare, I am damn sure the taste will attract everyone in the home. Though it is not a spicy dish, I have added chilli flakes (which were not included in the original recipe), to satisfy the Indian taste buds.
