    Method

    For boiling pasta:

    1

    - Take 6-8 cups of water in a large pan
    - Add salt and oil into it and let it boil.
    - Once the water comes to a boil, add Wheafree Rice pasta to it. Boil it for 10 minutes on high flame.
    - Check the pasta with a fork or with your hands, make sure the center part is not dry.
    - Keep the pasta a bit undercooked as it will be cooked again in the sauce later.
    - Once boiled, keep a cup of boiled pasta water aside then drain off the rest of water. Run the pasta through cold water and keep it aside.
    - Add a little oil and toss the pasta so that it doesn’t stick.

    For sautéing vegetables:

    2

    - Heat the oil in a frying pan and sauté garlic and onion in it.
    - Add carrots and sauté them for 1-2 minutes.
    - Then add capsicum, bell pepper and sweet corn. Sauté them until vegetables are slightly cooked yet remain crunchy.
    - Further add pepper and salt according to your taste.
    - Mix it well and keep it aside.

    To prepare the white sauce:

    - Heat up the butter in a pan on medium flame.
    - Add Wheafree Maida Replacer and sauté on low flame until the maida turns aromatic yet does not change its colour.
    - Add 1 cup of milk and mix well till the sauce thickens. Make sure the sauce is smooth and there are no lumps.
    - Add 1 more cup of milk and stir continuously until the sauce thickens furthermore. (If required use a whisk.)
    - Cook until the sauce turns smooth and has a creamy texture.
    - Now add white pepper, black pepper, chilli flakes, oregano, parsley and salt (you can add more or reduce according to your taste.)
    - You can add some of the boiled pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
    - Add cheese for better taste.
