Spinach homemade pasta with white sauce

Pastas are my kids all time favourite. They can eat pasta daily and I will make different kinds of pastas for them. This one is homemade pasta with yummy sauce. This post is for #59 blogging marathon Day 2 

Ingredients: 

Spinach - 1/4 cup blanced and pureed 

  Flour- 1 cup

  salt to taste 

  For sauce:  

 Butter- 1 tbsp 

 Flour- 1 tbsp 

Milk- 1 cup 

White pepper powder- 1/2 tsp 

salt to taste

Method:

In a bowl add spinach puree, flour and salt mix well and knead them to a thick dough and set aside for 10 mins. Knead the dough again and roll them into thin disks and cut them into desired shapes a long strip, tiny bits, twisted pieces etc.....place them in a plate by sprinkling semolina on them. It will protect them from sticking.

Heat water in a vessel and add a pinch of salt and a tsp of oil to it. when it heats add the spinach pasta and boil for 2-3 mins. Fresh pastas will get cooked soon. When its cooked and gets glossy look drain them and set aside by tossing them with some oil to prevent from sticking.

In a nonstick pan add butter and heats till it melts down add in flour and mix them till its cooked stir continuously now remove from fire and add milk whisk them without any lumps. Cook  them in slow fire till it thickens add in salt to taste and white pepper powder mix well now gently toss in pasta into the sauce and mix well. Serve hot.............
