Ingredients for White Sauce Pasta without Maida
To make white sauce pasta recipe you need following ingredients. It is a healthy creamy pasta recipe for kids you definitely give it a try.
Pasta– I have used elbow macaroni pasta here but you can use any other shaped pasta of your choice. Elbow Macaroni pasta takes very less time in cooking but others may take more so, keep an eye on the cooking of the pasta. We have to cook them till they have done up to 80%, otherwise, they will become sticky.
Flour– the traditional white sauce is made with all-purpose flour but I have used whole wheat flour as all-purpose flour or maida is not good for health. You did not notice much difference in texture and taste.
Milk-toned milk is used to make the white sauce but for richer flavour full-fat milk can be used but the calories also increased.
Veggies– give a more colourful attractive look and increase the nutritional value of this pasta. I have added carrots, onion, and shimla mirch(green capsicum). You can also add other vegetables of your choice like coloured capsicum, broccoli, sweet corn, baby corn etc. They provide a crunch as well the nutrition.
Herbs and spices– make it more aromatic and spicy red chilli flakes, black pepper powder, oregano, and salt are added. Adjust the amount of these seasonings as per your taste and preference. If you want it more spicy, increase the red chilli flakes.
Cheese– Amul brand cheese cube is used that gives a more creamy and cheesy texture to the pasta. You can use any other cheese of your choice.

- After straining water run cold water to the pasta so that further cooking is stopped and it will not stick together.
- Roast whole wheat flour well otherwise a raw smell of flour will ruin the pasta taste.
- I have added toned milk here for a richer taste you can use full-fat milk.
- While adding milk to the roasted flour stir it mixture continuously and add milk gradually to avoid any lumps.
