White sauce millet pasta in 10 minutes (no maida)

White sauce millet macaroni in a bowl beside the Priyam Organics pack

Most white sauce starts with maida cooked in butter. This one does not. It is butter, garlic, milk and the seasoning mix that comes in the pack, and it is ready by the time the pasta has boiled.

Time: 10 minutes · Serves: 2 to 3 · Pans: 2

What you need

  • 1 pack Priyam Organics Foxtail Millet Pasta, Macaroni or Penne
  • The seasoning mix from the pack
  • 1 spoon of butter
  • 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • Half a cup of milk
  • Salt for the boiling water

How to make it

  1. Boil the pasta. Bring salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook for 8 minutes. Stir once. Drain.
  2. Start the sauce while the pasta boils. Melt the butter in a pan on low heat. Add the garlic and stir for half a minute.
  3. Add the milk and the seasoning mix. Stir for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the drained pasta. Toss until it is coated. Serve hot.

Good to know

  • This is a light, milky sauce, not a thick one, because there is no flour in it.
  • For a child who likes less spice, use half the seasoning mix.
  • Vegetables: add chopped carrot, sweet corn or capsicum to the boiling water for the last 3 minutes.
