Rakhee Bhatia Shah : CHEESY PASTA

YESTERDAY WAS A GREAT EVENING FOR ME. MY MOM DEMANDED, MY MADE CHEESY PASTA. I WAS SO EXCITED,I COULD HARDLY WAIT FOR HER TO COME....

I FEEL PROUD, WHEN MY MOM SAID SHE LIKES THE KIND OF PASTA I MAKE... :)

I AM SHARING THE RECIPE, ALTHOUGH I DON'T HAVE A PROPER PIC,STILL I MANAGED TO TAKE A SMALL PIC FROM THE CORNER, AS THE DISH WAS POLISHED OFF AS IT WAS READY.

INGREDIENTS :-

HALF LTR OF MILK ( I USED LOW FAT)
8 CUBES OF CHEESE - GRATED ( I USED AMUL)
1 TSP - BUTTER ( I USED AMUL )
1 TSP - MAIDA
SUGAR - 1 TSP
SALT TO TASTE ( BUT CAREFUL WHILE ADDING, AS CHEESE IS ALSO SALTY)
OREGANO TO TASTE
BASIL TO TASTE
RED CHILLY FLAKES - TO TASTE
BLACK PEPPER ( OPT - OR TO TASTE)

PASTA BOILED IN SALT WATER LITTLE OIL ( COOKED 90% )

MOST IMP NOTE :- ALL THE INGREDIENTS FOR 4-5 PPL. ONE CAN CHANGE THE QUANTITY ACCORDINGLY.

IN A HEAVY BOTTOM PAN, MELT THE BUTTER AND ADD MAIDA.. TAKE CARE NOT TO FORM LUMPS ALSO NOT TO BROWN THE FLOUR.

ADD THE MILK BY STIRRING THE BUTTER MIXTURE WITH CARE....BRING THE MILK TO BOIL.

ADD SUGAR.. AND KEEP STIRRING MILK AS IT SHOULD NOT GET STICK TO PAN

ADD THE GRATED CHEESE TO THE MILK , AND MIX IT WELL TILL THE MILK STARTS GETTING THICK,YOU WILL START SEEING THE CREAMY TEXTURE

ADD THE BASIL, OREGANO BLACK PEPPER AND CHILLY FLAKES TO YOUR TASTE

KEEP STIRRING AND POSSIBLY TRY TASTING THE SAUCE, ADD THE REQUIRED SALT TO TASTE.

NOW ADD THE BOILED PASTA TO THE SAUCE AND MIX WELL ( TAKE CARE AS PASTA SHOULD BE DRAINED PROPERLY AND TO STICKY)

ONE MAY SERVE THE DISH AS IT IS OR IF LIKED, CAN BAKE IT TOO..
NOW HOW TO BAKE IT..

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT SAUCE SHOULD HAVE CORRECT AMOUT OF SALT OR OTHER INGREDIENTS.TAKE EXTRA CARE WHILE ADDING CHEESE OR SALT OR SUGAR
