Creamy, rich, and full of flavor, Spaghetti White Pasta is a classic Italian dish made with a smooth white sauce, garlic, butter, and cheese. It’s perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
- 200 g spaghetti
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon mixed Italian herbs
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Steps to Make Spaghetti White Pasta
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and toss it with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring continuously to form a smooth paste.
- Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thick.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian herbs, black pepper, salt, and chili flakes. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy.
- Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce and toss well until every strand is evenly coated.
- Cook for another 2–3 minutes on low heat, allowing the pasta to absorb the flavors.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, extra Parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of chili flakes if desired. Serve hot with garlic bread or a fresh salad.
