What is a recipe for white sauce to put on spaghetti?

Answer 1

First, use a very basic white sauce recipe:

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 cups milk
salt and white pepper to taste

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Slowly add the milk whisking continuously until smooth.
Bring to a boil and boil for about 1 minute or until the sauce is as thick as you like. Add the salt and pepper. Stir.

Once you have the basic recipe made, you can add anything you like to make it special -- such as a variety of cheeses (like Parmesan, mozzarella, ricotta), herbs, spices and other seasonings (onion, garlic, oregano, bay leaf), a splash of white cooking wine, mushrooms, olives, capers -- ANYTHING!

Bon Appetit!

Answer 2

Though this recipe uses fettuccine, you can always use spaghetti. If you have never had porcini mushrooms you are REALLY missing out on something. Please give it a try.

Creamy Fettuccine with Porcini Mushrooms

2 ounces dried porcini mushrooms
2 cups hot water
1 pound fettuccine
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 medium onion, minced
1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
1/4 cup evaporated skim milk
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Place mushrooms in a small bowl; pour water over to cover and soak 20 minutes. cook pasta according to directions without salt or oil. Remove mushrooms from water. Remove any foreign matter and chop mushrooms. Strain soaking liquid in a colander lined with paper towels and reserve liquid.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt butter or margarine. Add onion and cook 6-7 minutes or until onions just begin to brown. Add mushrooms, salt and pepper; cook 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add mushroom soaking liquid and simmer 10 minutes or until liquid has been reduced by half. (The sauce should be thicker now, but don't overdo it or it will become too dry.) Stir milk into mushroom mixture and simmer 2 minutes or until sauce thickens. Drain pasta and pour into serving bowl; pour sauce over, add Parmesan and toss to combine. Serve immediately.

Answer 3

Depending on how much you want to make, melt about 1 Tbsp butter or margarine. Add 1 cup milk for each 3/4 cup sauce you want. Slowly add flour (by forkful or 1/8 tbsp), stirring constantly. Add salt & pepper to taste.
This is a very basic white sauce & takes almost no time at all.

Enjoy your spaghetti!
