Hii Foodies, I am Swapna back with a wonderful Italian recipe Creamy Pasta. This is a declicious , super quick main dish. Its a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine. Pasta is generally a very sinple dish, but comes in larage varieties because it is a versatile food item. Some pasta dishes are served as a first course in Italy. Because the portion sizes are small and simple. Pasta are also prepared in light lunches, such as salads or large portion sizes for dinner. It can be served hot or cold. Pasta sauces vary in taste, colour and texture. However traditionally the sauce should not be excessive as the pasta itself should still be tasted. Pasta is typically a noodle made from an unleavened dough of a durum wheat flour mixed with water and formed into sheets or various shapes, then cooked and served in any number of dihses.
Pasta is an Italian dish, but when it is made in india, the style and taste is different from its orginal taste. My family is fond of creamy pasta made at our home. Today I am doing a creamy pasta with an Italian white sauce made at home. Its really yummy and healthy for kids. So u all try it out.
