White Sauce Pasta (often called Alfredo

Ingredients
1. The Pasta & Veggies
Pasta: 2 cups (Penne or Fusilli work best here, as seen in the photo)
Butter/Oil: 1 tbsp
Garlic: 1 tbsp, finely chopped
Veggies: ½ cup mixed (broccoli florets, diced bell peppers, sliced mushrooms)
Seasoning: A pinch of salt and black pepper
2. The White Sauce (Bechamel)
Butter: 2 tbsp
All-Purpose Flour (Maida): 2 tbsp
Milk: 2 cups (warm or at room temperature to avoid lumps)
Cheese: ¼ cup grated Mozzarella or Processed cheese (for that extra creaminess)
3. The Seasonings & Toppings (The Stars of the Photo!)
Italian Seasoning / Oregano: 1 tsp
Red Chili Flakes: 1 tsp (adjust to taste)
Black Pepper: ½ tsp
Salt: To taste
Toppings: Sliced black olives and pickled jalapenos
👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Boil the Pasta
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add 1 tsp of salt and a drizzle of oil.
Add the pasta and cook until it is al dente (cooked through but still has a slight bite—about 8–10 minutes).
Drain the pasta, but reserve ½ cup of the pasta starch water (this is a secret weapon to adjust sauce consistency later). Set the pasta aside.
Step 2: Saute the Veggies
Heat 1 tbsp of butter/oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped garlic and saute for 30 seconds until fragrant (don't let it brown).
Toss in the mushrooms, broccoli, and bell peppers. Saute for 2–3 minutes until they are slightly tender but still retain their crunch and vibrant color.
Remove the veggies from the pan and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Creamy White Sauce
In the same pan, turn the heat to low and add 2 tbsp of butter.
Once melted, add 2 tbsp of all-purpose flour. Stir continuously with a whisk for 1–2 minutes until the raw smell disappears. Note: Do not let the flour turn brown; it should stay a pale golden color.
The Trick to No Lumps: Slowly pour in the milk with one hand while whisking vigorously with the other.
Cook on medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce starts to thicken and coats the back of a spoon (about 4–5 minutes).
Step 4: Combine and Season
Turn the heat to low. Add the Italian seasoning, red chili flakes, black pepper, and salt to the sauce.
Stir in the grated cheese until it completely melts into the sauce.
Dump in the sauteed veggies and the boiled pasta. Toss gently to coat everything beautifully.
If the sauce feels too thick, splash in a bit of that reserved pasta water until you get that glossy, saucy texture seen in your photo.
Step 5: The Finishing Touch
Transfer the pasta to your serving dish.
Generously garnish the top with sliced black olives and pickled jalapeno rounds, just like the picture.
Sprinkle a few extra red chili flakes on top for that cafe-style look.
💡 Pro-Tip: Serve this immediately while it's piping hot! White sauce thickens up quickly as it cools down. If you need to reheat leftovers later, just add a splash of milk and microwave or heat on the stove.
Enjoy your cooking! Let me know if you want to add a protein like grilled chicken to this.
