Regular Diet Pasta White Sauce Comfort Food Creamy Parmesan Cheese

Ingredients

1 pound of your favorite pasta (such as fettuccine, penne, or rigatoni)
4 tablespoons of butter
4 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
2 cups of whole milk
1 cup of heavy cream
1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to package directions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
In a separate large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux. This will help thicken the sauce.
Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking to ensure a smooth mixture. Keep whisking until the sauce begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Toss the cooked pasta into the white sauce, making sure to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, you can gradually add some of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve the Pasta with White Sauce hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
Enjoy your comforting and creamy pasta creation with a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad for a well-rounded meal that will surely impress your family and friends.
