WHITE SAUCE FOR PASTA
My husband lived in Italy for 3 years, so he's really picky about his Italian cuisine! I needed a great meal that was super-quick one night for his dinner; I had spicy battered shrimp on hand that I wanted to use and a couple choices of dried pasta. This sauce sounded perfect to tie it all together! Served over tortiglioni pasta with salad and toasted Italian bread. Just like I spent all day on dinner. It is really hard to mess-up this kind of white sauce. In my opinion, it was very much like an Alfredo sauce! Of course there is very little difference in the two sauces.

EASY WHITE SAUCE FOR PASTA
I LOVE THIS RECIPE! I used shrimp and thinly sliced (left over) roasted zucchini to jazz up my sauce tonight and it turned out yummier than ever before! Add to any cooked pasta to make an all-in-one meal (just remember to pre- cook any meat or veggies) OR I like useing it as a warm appetizer to dip warmed crusty bread into when I make an italian style dinner. ALSO: I "eye ball" all my measurements so please adjust as necessary. Start with a portion of the measurement and keep adding more little by little til it "looks right" and move on :) DO NOT add salt! There is plenty of salt in the butter, chicken stalk, and cheese to meet your needs! IN FACT you may want to opt for low sodium chicken stalk and/or unsalted butter. I happen to like the salt. :)

Steps:
- In a large deep sauce or frying pan: Melt butter on MEDIUM LOW heat! Nice and slow! I tend to think mine will get done faster if I turn up the heat a bit and I ALWAYS burn my butter -- Learn from my mistakes! GO SLOW!
- Whisk in flour til it is a smooth, slightly thickened, liquid. Typically refered to as a "rue". This may take slighly more OR LESS than 1/4 c flour. It should be completely smooth and still liquid though!
- Add 1/4 c milk (more or less). WHISK! DON'T STOP WHISKING! Your liquid will become an almost immobile mass in your pan. YAY! :) Keep adding milk til you are comfortable with the texture.
- Add Chicken Broth SLOWLY as with with the milk whisking the whole time. Your looking for a slightly thinner sauce than you'll want over all because the cheeses will begin to thicken it and as it cools, it gets even thicker still. Most will probably already know these steps as it's fairly common procedure but I HAD to list them for those of you who have not experienced this method. Alot of gravy's, soup's, and sauces will call for similar treatment. And who doesn't LOVE butter!? Don't answer that -- My husband doesn't! lol But he loves this recipe!
- Now add your cheeses, garlic, parsley, and pepper. WHISK! lol
- TASTE TEST! If your eyes don't close in a quick moment of bliss, you probably need a little more cheese or spice! :) Also: This would be when you add things like pepared diced chicken or shrimp or veggies, just continue on medium low heat til warmed through. ENJOY!

WHITE CREAM SAUCE FOR PASTA
This recipe was taught to me by a friend. A very simplistic recipe which gives you many options on what to serve it with. I've had this with ziti, and prefer it with the smooth kind rather than the ridged kind. But any Macaroni product will do.
