white sauce pasta recipe made with mix veggies. this white sauce pasta recipe is an easy and delicious recipe of pasta made with mix vegetables and white sauce.
i usually have pasta or macaroni at home which i use to make various pasta recipes on occasions. this white sauce pasta recipe gets made at home often and is liked by everyone.
as an accompaniment to the pasta, i bake a bread or loaf the previous day and make a side vegetable soup or tomato soup. you can use your choice of veggies in the pasta. we are fond of peas, baby corn, carrots, cauliflower, mushrooms and potatoes and hence these get often added in the pasta. usually i prefer to include vegetables in the pasta recipes wherever possible. various mix vegetables not only add a lot of flavor and depth to the pasta but also makes it more nutritious.
to make this veg white sauce pasta recipe you will have to steam or cook the vegetables. either steam them in pot or electric cooker or use a pressure cooker to cook the veggies. peel and dice or cube the veggies. keep aside. i have not steamed the mushrooms but sauteed them as you will see in the pics below. in this recipe you don’t have to make the white sauce separately. you can also have a look at this white sauce pasta recipe which is made in a different way. few more pasta recipes on blog are:
for the flavors and seasoning, i have added dry basil and oregano. you can add your choice of preferred herbs. if living in india and you don’t have access to dry basil and oregano, then you can add a bit of fresh coriander or mint leaves. don’t add too much, just a tiny amount, about 1 tsp of chopped coriander or mint.

vegetable pasta in white sauce recipe below:

veg pasta in white sauce recipe - smooth and creamy dish with pasta and vegetables in white sauce.
- 1 cup shell pasta or macaroni
- 1.5 cups chopped white button mushrooms
- ½ cup green peas - fresh or frozen (matar)
- 1 medium potato (aloo)
- 1 small to medium carrot (gajar)
- 1 small to medium capsicum, any color - red, green or yellow (bell pepper or shimla mirch)
- 4 to 5 baby corn
- 1 medium onion - chopped (pyaaz)
- 2 to 3 small garlic - finely chopped (lahsun)
- 2 cups whole full fat milk
- 2.5 tablespoon all purpose flour (maida)
- ½ teaspoon dry oregano or basil or a mix of both or your choice of dry herbs
- 2 to 3 tablespoon butter
- 2 to 3 tablespoon grated cheddar or regular cheese (optional)
- salt as required
- black pepper as required
first steam or boil the potatoes, carrots, baby corn and peas in a steamer or pressure cooker.
drain and then chop them. keep aside.
- heat enough water in a pan with salt and a few drops of oil.
- when the water comes to a boil, add the pasta and boil them till they are completely cooked.
- strain the pasta and rinse with water. drain and keep aside.
- in a pan, melt the butter. add the onions and garlic and saute till the onions are softened.
- then add the mushrooms. stir and saute the mushrooms till the mushrooms are lightly browned from the sides.
- the mushrooms will release their juices initially and after continuous sauteing, the juices will evaporate. there should be no moisture in the pan.
- keep on stirring in breaks while sauteing the mushrooms.
then add the chopped capsicum (bell pepper) and saute for 10 to 12 minutes.
- add the flour and saute for 4 to 5 minutes.
- add the boiled vegetables and saute for a minute.
pour milk in a gentle stream to the pan and keep on stirring. the flour will combine with the milk and you will see the sauce getting thickened slowly.
season with salt, pepper and oregano or basil or your choice of herbs.
- when the sauce stars to thicken and reaches to your desired consistency. add the pasta.
stir well so that the white sauce coats the pasta. switch off the flame.
if the white sauce becomes too thick or lumpy, then add some hot water or milk and thin the sauce.
- lastly add some grated cheese if required.
- serve white sauce pasta recipe hot with some toasted bread or baguette.
stepwise white sauce pasta recipe with veggies:
1. boil water with salt and few drops of oil. add the pasta and cook them.
2. the pasta has to be well cooked as we are not going to cook them further, once we add them to the final dish.
3. drain the pasta in a colander or sieve. rinse with running water and keep aside. you can sprinkle a few drops of oil and gently toss them.
4. heat butter in a pan. take care it should not burn or brown. add onions and garlic. saute till the onions are translucent.
5. add the sliced mushrooms.
6. saute the mushrooms till they start to get lightly browned from the edges.
7. add the chopped capsicum/green bell pepper and saute till they are softened and almost cooked.
8. add the all purpose flour/maida or whole wheat flour/atta and stir well. saute for 4 to 5 mins on a low flame till the raw aroma of the flour goes away.
9. add the chopped cooked veggies and stir well. saute for a minute.
10. pour milk in a gentle stream to the pan and keep on stirring. the flour will combine with the milk and you will see the sauce getting thickened slowly. season with salt, pepper and oregano or basil or your choice of herbs.
11. when the white sauce starts to thicken and reaches to your desired consistency, then add the pasta.
12. stir well so that the white sauce coats the pasta. switch off the flame.
serve veg white sauce pasta hot or warm topped with some grated cheese. if you want you can also top the white sauce pasta with grated cheddar cheese and bake in a pre heated oven till the cheese melts.
Alka says
Hello , very easy way of making , thnk u…. I have one query , if I have to send it to my son in tiffin for school , it will b more sticky and mashy so what is the better way which I can give this to him …. my son loves this and wants me to send this in tiffin
dassana amit says
keep a slight liquid consistency in the recipe. so when the pasta and sauce cool down also there won’t be stickiness or lumpiness. so add some more milk.

Prajna says
Awesome recipe.. I always used to make the white sauce seperately.. Never knew this technique.. Thanks for sharing.. Came out excellent!!
dassana amit says
thanks prajna. i use both the methods, but i find this one easier to prepare than making white sauce separately.
dassana amit says
glad you liked the vegetable pasta recipe and thankyou prajna for your positive words 🙂
Janani SivaRam says
Wow! Excellent Recipe! I must say that u can also make the sause separately, put the amount of maida/flour +ghee make it kind of thick then add the milk but keep the stove always in the lowest level otherwise it gets all thickened + Add pepper? But I love ur Reciepe Dasanna ? Keep sharing Vegatarian Recipes without Egg! Will def. follow ? Thx – all the way from South Africa?
dassana amit says
thanks a lot janani. i know the sauce can be made separately. but for beginners making the sauce separately is a bit tricky as it gets thickened and becomes lumpy too at times. hence shared an easy version.
Sowraj says
Hi can pregnant ladies eat this? And I love mushrooms but don’t know how to buy .we get packed white mushrooms in stores here don’t know whether they are good or not!!
dassana amit says
sowraj pregnant ladies could eat mushrooms. when you buy mushrooms always they should be white in color and appear firm. if they looks very black and soft then refrain from buying. hope this help’s you.
Sowraj says
Thanks so much!! I love pasta n macaroni but worried whether I can eat this or not ,being pregnant.but as making at home is hygenic I wanna try
dassana amit says
welcome sowraj. you can have pasta and macaroni. however, its always better to have whole wheat ones or made from sooji or semolina. you can try this recipe at home.
Aalaya Tomar says
Hi,
Can we use mozarella cheese for the white sauce ? Do you prefer amul cheese or mozarella cheese ?
dassana amit says
use amul cheese.
Aalaya Tomar says
okay thank u !
dassana amit says
welcome aalaya 🙂
Aalaya Tomar says
also, how to keep the pasta warm in a normal school tiffin ,i don’t use a thermos tiffin so can u suggest something else ?!
dassana amit says
pasta won’t stay warm in a normal tiffin. so i don’t think there is anything that can be done to make it stay warm. at the most, you can wrap the tiffin with a foil or a kitchen towel, so that the warmth is trapped inside.
Aalaya Tomar says
okay , thanks for the reply ! 🙂
dassana amit says
welcome.

shailja says
I like white sauce pasta .Your recipe is good. Can I use amul cream instead of milk.
dassana amit says
thanks. for the white sauce base, you will need milk. if adding cream, then don’t make the white sauce base. meaning don’t add the flour and milk. once the capsicum is cooked, add the boiled veggies, herbs etc and saute them for 1 or 2 minutes. then add the cooked pasta. stir well. now you add amul cream. stir and switch off. this way also you will get a creamy veg pasta. quantity of cream to be added will depend on taste.
Anusia says
This is an easy and healthy option. Making vegetable pasta would be so easy, I had no idea.

Manisha Pednekar says
Hi dassana
Ur recipes r mindblowing
I just want to say thanks but I never tried pasta recipes at home I personally don’t like but children love..
Pls tell… if I do it will come out the same..is there any specific time to cook pasta
dassana amit says
thanks manisha. pasta takes around 15 to 20 mins to cook on a medium to high flame. they should soften and cook well, if you add them towards the end. if the recipe asks to cook the pasta for some minutes, then you can cook them till al dente. meaning just cooked. in fact we just had pasta with veggies for dinner today 🙂
pavan says

Can I use ajwain instead of oregano…???
dassana amit says
ajwain will give a different flavor and aroma. but no harm in trying 🙂 just add a little as ajwain can be overpowering. about 1/4 tsp will do.

Hi can i add spinach and broccoli to the pasta and also green peppers?
dassana amit says
blanch the spinach. steam the broccoli, till they are tender. for green peppers, you can either blanch them or saute them. another way is saute the green bell peppers in oil, then add the spinach and broccoli. saute till the broccoli florets are cooked. then proceed with step 8 of the recipe.
