White sauce pasta

White sauce pasta, emerged from Italy, now dominates the world. Its creaminess and cheesiness is all to water your mouths. But while listening to your taste buds, do not compromise with your digestive system. Yes, I am talking about the penne pasta used in white sauce pasta. These pasta are made of all purpose flour which is way too heavy on your digestive system. That is why, I have prepared a healthier white sauce pasta. I have used in this recipe semolina penne pasta. Also, for making white sauce, people used refined flour, but I did it with wheat flour. And, wheat white sauce tastes same as the commercial ones.
