Macaroni in saffron sauce.

Lazy Sundays always bring out the frugal chef in me. No fuss food, but fancy looking is what I crave for. I have kids who are thankfully gifted with mixing up a good meal, so instructing them is easy. Big boy Boo loves subtle flavours and food that's easy on the eye. This one made by Mandira for Sunday dinner.

2 cups boiled macaroni ( al dente)
1/2 cup smoked boneless chicken
2 tbsp butter
1 1/2 cup milk
1 heaped tbsp flour
1 generous pinch saffron, lightly heated and crushed
1 generous pinch nutmeg powder
1/4 tsp white pepper
salt to taste

Blend the flour in milk, stirring slowly to ensure no lumps are formed.Heat butter, pour the milk into the butter, again stirring continuously till the sauce thickens and bubbles.Add salt, pepper, nutmeg and saffron. Add macaroni. Voila! Yummy, creamy and exotic. Enjoy.
