Yummy Chicken Sausage Pasta with Cheesy White Sauce

Ingredients:-
Pasta - 400 mg pack
Sausage - 6 nos (slice into small strips)
Salt - to taste
Water - 5 cups
Oil - 1 tbsp
Butter/oil - 1 tbsp

Ingredients (White Sauce):-
Milk - 3 cups
Butter (melted)/Oil - 3 tbsp
Onion - 1/2
Cloves - 4 nos
All purpose flour - 1 tbsp
Cheese - 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese (optional)
Pepper Powder - 1/2 tsp (optional)
Salt - As per taste

Method:-
In a saucepan, boil 5 cups of water with 1/2 tsp of salt. To the boiling water add 1 tbs of oil and pasta, cover and cook. Once the pasta is cooked, drain the remaining water and keep it aside. Chop the sausages and slightly fry it in either butter or oil. Now mix the cooked pasta with the sausages.

Method (White Sauce):-
In a saucepan heat 3 cups of milk with 1/2 of an onion and 4 cloves over medium heat, do not boil. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and melted butter/oil together. Add a small spoonful of the warmed milk at a time, whisking until the mixture is runny and smooth. Once the mixture gets thin, add the remaining milk and transfer the content into the saucepan. To this, add 1/2 tsp of pepper powder and cook over medium heat whisking constantly. When the mixture starts to become thick, add grated cheese. Check for salt and add if required. Turn off the heat at desired consistency. Remember that the sauce tends to thicken a bit more once it cools.

Our sausage pasta with cheesy white sauce is ready to be served.
