sauteed vegetables cooking pasta

Instructions

Enjoy a creamy cheese pasta with sauteed vegetables of choice. Choose your favorite pasta (I prefer farfalle), stir in the cheese sauce, and add your favorite vegetables! I like to cook and add in peas, broccoli, onion, and celery for a bunch of green vegetable nutrients.

The cheese sauce is a simple, five ingredient sauce to enjoy with any cheesy pasta.


Step-by-step

For the sauce:

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat
  • Whisk in flour and salt to form a paste
  • Slowly add in the milk
  • Cook and stir until fully mixed (approx 2 minutes)
  • Stir in the shredded cheese
  • Cook until everything is fulled melted and mixed (approx 1-2 minutes)

For the pasta & vegetables:

  • Cook the pasta in boiling water according to the box
  • Sautee finely-chopped vegetables in about 1tbsp of butter until soft


Combine the pasta, cheese sauce, and vegetables!
