I believe pasta/macaroni is my take on comfort food. Something that goes with any kind of weather. But my personal favorite is to have it during rainy cold days with a piece of Foccacia. Béchamel sauce is a big hit at home. I like my sauce freshly made. A connoisseur of Italian food would always make his sauces fresh. So here's my favorite sauce with a little twist
Ingredients :
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour(maida or wheat flour)
1 1/4 cups milk, heated
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
1 cup blanched spinach
Method :
Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan add blanched spinach. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture cooks and bubbles a bit, but don't let it brown. Add the hot milk, continuing to stir as the sauce thickens. Bring it to a boil. Add salt and pepper to taste, lower the heat, and cook, stirring for 2 to 3 minutes more. Add cooked pasta and cook for 2 - 3 mins. Serve immediately with bread of your choice.
