White Sauce Pasta is a creamy dish rooted in Italian cuisine, featuring a rich, velvety béchamel sauce made from butter, flour, and milk, often enhanced with garlic, herbs, and cheese for added flavor. It’s typically served with al dente pasta, such as penne or fettuccine, and can be complemented by vegetables like broccoli, mushrooms, or spinach, and proteins such as chicken or shrimp. While its dairy base contributes calcium and protein, white sauce pasta is also high in saturated fat and calories, especially when cheese or heavy cream are added. Opting for low-fat milk, whole-grain pasta, or additional vegetables can boost its nutritional value, making it a more balanced option. Though indulgent, moderation and ingredient adjustments can transform this comfort food into a delicious, health-conscious meal.
