White Sauce Penne Pasta

White sauce pasta is an Italian origin, here added spices and converted the taste according to Indian style. This is super creamy soft pasta. Try this recipe with  penne pasta, macaroni, rigatoni and fusilli for great taste. You can choose vegetables of your choose like capsicum, sweet corn etc here I used only onion and carrots. Basically white sauce is made with maida(plain flour), but I made it with atta(wheat flour), as we are frying with butter you won't get the wheat flavour while having the pasta.
