Corn and Vegetable Pasta


This is made from the fancy coloured pasta available in stores today. Here I have used a corn and vegetable pasta, great for people who do not use refined flour or wheat based pasta.

The recipe is generic . The basic white sauce , I have just added a bit of basil for taste.Apart from that this is a vegetarian dish which uses no onions, garlic or root vegetables. Hence can be served in a Jain meal.


1 cup pasta , vegetables of your choice. 2 cups milk, 2 tblsp flour, basil leaves ground to a paste, about 1 tblsp of the paste, salt to taste, 2 tblsp oilve oil.pepper to taste.

Heat oil , quick cook the vegetables till they are still crunchy. take out the vegetables. Mix milk and flour to a smooth paste. Add the basil pesto till oil separates.Add the milk paste, mix well and cook on a slow flame till the sauce thickens. Add in boiled pasta, vegetables. Serve hot.
