White sauce pasta is a popular dish for adults and children. It's super easy and quick to prepare. I usually use pre-made homemade white sauce. In less than 15 minutes, a plate of vegetable pasta with white sauce is ready. I especially like to eat it in cold weather to warm up. This is definitely the best comfort food for your family.

Tips & Notes:
I use a ready-made white sauce. You can learn how to make it in this blog: How to Make White Sauce.
Don't overcook the pasta, it's best to leave it a little al dente so it doesn't get too soft when you mix it with the white sauce.
