Ingredients

300 grams Penne pasta

200 grams Spinach , finely chopped

1/2 cup Sweet corn , kernels, steamed

1 tablespoon Olive Oil/Any other oil

1 teaspoon Red Chilli flakes

1 teaspoon Dried oregano

Ingredients to make the sauce

1 tablespoon Olive Oil

1 Onion , roughly chopped

4 cloves Garlic , finely chopped

2 cups Milk

2 tablespoons Whole Wheat Flour

1 teaspoon Black pepper powder

Salt , as per taste

  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and let it cook in the boiling water until it is al dente. This process should take a good 12–15 minutes. Also boil corn in the meantime
  • Once the pasta has cooked, drain the water.
  • To make pasta sauce; whisk the milk, wheat flour, black pepper powder, and salt. Stir until there are no lumps.
  • In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic and saute for few minutes.
  • Pour the milk mixture into the onion mixture and keep stirring continuously to cook the sauce. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens and has cooked through.
  • Once done, turn off the heat, check the salt and spice levels and keep aside
  • Next step is to cook the spinach. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a wok on medium heat.
  • Add the spinach and cook until the spinach has wilted down. This will take about a minute. Add the cooked fusilli pasta and corn to the cooked spinach and give it a stir.
  • When you are ready to serve, combine the sauce along with the spinach pasta and give it a toss in the wok. Check the salt and spice levels and adjust to suit your taste.
  • It is important to mix the sauce to the pasta only when you are ready to serve, so the pasta tastes fresh and does not become sticky and gooey.
  • Sprinkle chilli flakes and oregano before serving the Spinach Corn Pasta In White Sauce
