White sauce pasta is a very famous recipe from Italy. It's a creamy milk based sauce which is flavored with black pepper and nutmeg sometimes and finished with cheese. I have added garlic to this sauce and that further enhanced the flavour of this sauce many fold. I have otherwise kept the recipe simple and added just broccoli so that the flavour of garlic is highlighted. You can use any vegetables of your choice, especially mushrooms. Mushroom white sauce pasta is also a very good recipe.
