Typically stay away from white sauce? Yes, I used to until I ended up eating the Macaroni in white sauce recently.
My impression about the white sauce was that it would take long to cook and I had conveniently arrived at a conclusion that it may not fetch me the desired results . But then after coming across a few recipes here and there, I made up my mind to give it a shot. And then there surely is no looking back. And the cheese in it is so yummy that it gives you a kick of energy as you gulp it down.Try this tasty version of macaroni made out of white sauce and prepare to change your mind.
Please note here that you can use any pasta you like. Not just Macaroni. Feel free to try this with spaghetti and other pasta shapes too.

100 gms Macaroni
1/2 bowl grated cheese
1 tbsp butter/oil
Salt & pepper to taste
1 cup Chopped vegetables - red, yellow & green bell pepper, carrots julienned, broccoli, spring onions, baby corn.
1 tsp Oregano

HOW TO MAKE:
The White Sauce:
1) Heat 1tbsp of butter in a pan and add garlic and sauté for a minute.
2) Once its done add corn flour/ all purpose flour sauté for a second let it not turn brown. Add 2 cups of milk and stir it continuously to avoid lumps.
3) Once the mixture starts thickening add oregano, thyme, salt, pepper powder and chilly flakes.
4) Add 2 cubes grated cheese and mix well and keep aside.
The Macaroni:
1) Bring water to boil and cook Macaroni as usual until soft and drain it.
2) Heat oil/butter in a pan and add in the chopped vegetables. Stir fry them and sauté them for just a minute.
3) Add in salt & pepper and mix well. Switch off the stove.
4) At this stage, take an oven proof dish and spread one layer butter, then a layer of boiled macaroni , cover it with a layer of white sauce, den a layer of the sautéed vegetables.
5) Cover with grated cheese and sprinkle oregano , pepper, red chilly flakes, salt and thyme . I also garnished with tomato rounds for a more colorful look.
6) Heat this in a microwave or bake in a convection over for about 4/5 minutes or till the cheese melts completely. Serve hot
