So here goes the recipe! How to prepare Pasta in White Sauce!!! 

Boil milk and keep it aside to cool. Take pasta and baby corn in a thick bottom pot and add ample water to it. Add a drop of oil, a spoonful salt and black pepper to this and boil it on a medium flame. The drop of oil added to pasta will make it non sticky. Once pasta and baby corn are half cooked, remove it from flame and cover with a lid for 5/10 mins. Later drain all the water and again cover the pot with the lid.

Take butter in a pan and on a medium flame roast maida in it until light pink. Keep it aside. When milk comes to warm or lukewarm temperature add roasted maida to it and cook on a medium flame. (If milk is too hot or too cold, the maida will form lumps in it. So milk must be warm or lukewarm while adding maida to it).  Once it starts thickening, add salt and pepper to taste, oregano, basil, and mix well. On further thickening add cheese while continuous stirring and bring it to uniform consistency without lumps. White sauce is ready. Remove from flame and keep it aside.

Take another 1/2 t spoon butter in a pan and add a little salt and black pepper to it. Mix it well. Now add pasta and baby corn and toss it on medium flame so that the salt and pepper gets well coated on the pasta and baby corn. 

While serving mix white sauce and the tossed pasta and baby corn and bring it to boil for a while. Garnish it with cheese and serve with garlic bread.
