11/2 cup milk
1/2 cup Del Monte Penne Pasta

White Sauce In Making
Method
Cook Pasta as per instructions given on the pack , Boil loads of water in a pan, add the pasta and 1 tsp oil and cook till al-dent.
Prepare white sauce while the pasta is cooking.

Add the corn and capsicum at stage.
Add the cooked pasta and mix everything nicely.
Cook again for 3-4 mins so that the flavours of the sauce is imbibed by the pasta.

Pinks Note.
You can replace the penne with any variety of pasta.
Italian seasoning is a mix of different herbs which contain oregano n Chilli flakes.
I have used Cheddar Cheese, but u can also try a combo of 2 or 3 different types of cheese as well.
You can also bake this mixture, i had tried it once but my kiddo dint like it much so I don’t do it.
To Prepare baked version , once the Pasta is cooked in the white sauce, transfer the mixture to a baking pan and sprinkle cheese all over the top. Bake it for 15 mins at 180c.
I personally felt that it had become to dry. Do try this out as well.
Happy Hogging!
