Penne in white sauce

I love pasta... there is no time of the day when I'll say no to pasta and a glass of wine. I'm sharing my favorite recipe today, which is also quite popular among my friends. It is a secret weapon i use to establish my reputation as a cook. So here goes...

You'll need:
Penne pasta - 100 gms
Mixed vegetables - 1 cup (peas, broccoli, carrot, corn, mushroom)
Cheese - 6 cubes (use amul/ britannia cheese cubes)
Oregano - 1 tsp (you can also use the leftover seasoning seasoning from any pizza place)
Chilli flakes - 1 tsp
Milk - 1 cup (slightly warm)
Flour - 1 tsp ( you can use wheat flour or maida)
onion - 1 small - grated or ground to a paste
Black pepper - 1 tsp
Butter - 3 tbsp
Salt to taste

How to:
Add some salt to a pan full of water and heat. Once it starts boiling add the pasta to it and cook for 10 minutes or till soft. Drain the water and keep the cooked penne in a pan of iced water.

Blanch the vegetables (except mushrooms) for 2 minutes in boiling water and keep aside.

Heat butter, preferably in a non-stick pan. Add the grated onion and saute till transparent. Add the flour and cook for a minute stirring continuously. Remove from flame and cool a bit. Add milk while stirring the mixture to avoid any lumps. If lumps form just strain the sauce to remove them. Put on medium flame and cook till the sauce starts to thicken. Add some more milk if needed. Add the cheese and stir continuously till it dissolves.

Add all the remaining ingredients including Penne and vegetables and simmer for 2 minutes. Ready to eat.
