Start Cooking
Prepare the Béchamel Sauce
-
In a small pot, heat the oil. Add the flour and stir until well combined.
-
Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Add salt to taste. If the sauce gets too thick as it cools, reheat over a low flame with additional milk.
-
Serve warm over pasta.
Prepare Variation #1
-
Mix sauces, cream cheese, basil, and vodka over low heat until cream cheese is melted and fully incorporated. Serve over pasta.
-
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or fresh basil for an upgraded look.
Prepare Variation #2
-
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
-
Heat the béchamel sauce with shredded cheese, spinach, garlic, and salt until cheese is melted. Add pasta and stir until sauce is evenly distributed.
-
Spread 1/2 cup marinara sauce on the bottom of an eight-inch (20-centimeter) square pan. Add pasta, then top with remaining 1/2 cup marinara sauce and more shredded cheese.
-
Bake for 20 minutes, uncovered, until cheese is browned and bubbling.

Loved this!
I made this one motzei shabbos and did the penne vodka version. It was so good! And I loved that it didn't require heavy cream and just ingredients I had in my house. Even my husband who isn't a fan of penne vodka liked this one! Will definitely make it againReplies:
