Pasta with bechamel sauce

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Let's prepare the ingredients according to the list. You can use any pasta for this dish, preferably durum wheat. It is better to use full-fat milk to prepare the sauce, always fresh, so that it does not curdle when heated.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place a piece of butter in a thick-walled dish (saucepan, frying pan). Melt it over medium heat.

3. STEP 3

   

   We sift the wheat flour to avoid foreign objects and hairs getting into the mass and to reduce the number of lumps in the finished sauce. Pour flour into a frying pan with oil.

4. STEP 4

   

   Fry it in oil, stirring vigorously with a spatula until the flour looks like wet sand and acquires a creamy color.

5. STEP 5

   

   In a separate bowl, heat the milk (but do not bring it to a boil) and pour it into the pan in a thin stream and in small parts. At the same time stirring the mass with a spatula. Boil the mixture over low heat for about 10 minutes, from the moment it boils. It is necessary that the sauce becomes uniform in consistency, without lumps. For homogeneity, the sauce can be beaten with a blender or whisk.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add spices to taste: nutmeg and ground black pepper and salt, mix. Turn off the fire. The consistency of the sauce should be similar to liquid sour cream. Please note that the sauce will become thicker as it cools.

7. STEP 7

   

   At the same time, in another bowl, boil the pasta until done. Pour clean water into the pan, add a pinch of salt, bring the water to a boil and lower the pasta into boiling water. Stir immediately, reduce heat to medium and cook for about 9 minutes from the moment the water boils.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the pasta in a colander and rinse it with clean cold water to prevent it from sticking together in the future. Place the pasta on plates and pour bechamel sauce on top. Serve with fresh herbs and vegetables. Despite the simplicity and speed of preparation, the dish’s taste is not inferior to its restaurant counterparts. Bon appetit!

Pasta in cream sauce is also a good option.

I decided to have an unusual breakfast and serve pasta with bechamel sauce. I had boiled pasta the night before, so breakfast was ready in just 15 minutes, which is very convenient. I simply adore bechamel sauce for its delicate structure and milky creamy taste. Cooked the sauce in a non-stick pan. How many times have I cooked it and every time I get lumps. I determined for myself that the easiest way to deal with them is with a silicone spatula or whisk. Be sure to salt the sauce and add aromatic mixture of peppers. Moreover, I add pepper immediately after the milk so that it has time to “make friends” with the other ingredients and give off its spicy aroma. Our breakfast turned out to be excellent, very tasty, it really lifted my spirits in the morning) The pasta was soaked in a delicate creamy sauce, it was not only tasty, but also filling!

It took more than 2.5 hours to tinker, of which the pasta spent 0.5 hours in the oven. True, the result is worth it - it turned out delicious! I don’t know what kind of paste you get if you “fry the flour in butter until golden brown.” I fried the flour in a dry frying pan.
