I love pasta in all forms. Since then, I prefer cooking my own pasta meals instead of buying from restos. It was a good thing my husband loves pasta too, which makes it easier for me in the kitchen since I am not the best cook around.
Few weeks ago, we attended our neighbor’s birthday party. They served the simplest yet yummiest white sauce pasta. It’s just a cream-based pasta, but not carbonara, where they used fusilli for noodles, chicken, and lots of Parmesan. Since my husband is craving for it, I decided to replicate it, which I want to share with you.
Here’s the best part: it is easy to make. All it takes are simple ingredients you can find at home – All Purpose cream, pasta noodles, chicken, garlic, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese.
The Simplest White Sauce Pasta There’s something about garlic that makes the food yummy. Every time I cook pasta, I make sure I have lots of it. Plus, I love the smell too.
Chicken is also a favorite at home. Even in tomato-based pasta, I still use chicken instead of ground pork (or I just combine both).
To make the white sauce pasta, saute garlic in olive oil. Then pour chicken. You can also use tuna or pork tenderloin on this one. Add the pasta. You can use any kind of pasta noodles, though for this dish, I used fusilli. Then pour the all-purpose cream. I intentionally used only half of the pack since I want it a bit dry (like what we tasted in the party). However, you can use the entire pack if you don’t want it too dry. Season with salt, pepper, and lots of Parmesan cheese. I don’t usually recommend a specific amount on the seasonings since it will all depend on your taste buds. Mix then serve. Top it off with more Parmesan cheese. Easy, don’t you think? I was thinking of adding cream of mushroom soup for more flavor, but so far, this one worked. What I like about this dish is that it is easy to make and with ingredients readily available.

I use bacon and ham.. is it a bad thing?!? or sometimes I use left over adobo
Pwede naman π Though me kasi i limit processed food at home. Havent tried adobo though. Thanks for giving me an idea π
Will try this sometime π
Indeed easy to do. The boys and I also so love pasta that at least once a week, we have pasta in our house. Their fave of course is the walang kamatayang children’s spaghetti. Hihi.
Perhaps this is something you can try with your family π
Will surely do. Thanks.
I can’t cook. Ironically, in our house, the kitchen belongs to my husband. Hahaha! Taste tester lang ako. Not complaining though.
Nag crave tuloy ako bigla ng pasta!
Will give this a try! When I do cook it’s mostly pasta.
This looks really yummy. I’ve never made white sauce before — I’ll probably take a break from all that pesto and bolognese!
Easy does it, and looks yummy, too! Thanks for sharing!
Looks delish! π
I, too, enjoy making pasta! its our “go to” food at home when we can’t decide what to eat lol
Wow that pasta is inviting! Looks so yummy!
Looks so easy! Will definintely try this soon! Thanks for sharing!
I love white sause! I also use all-purpose cream and add fresh milk. I’ll find some “colored” pasta, they look better with white sauce pala.
Looks yummy! π
i make smething very similar to this, i have an oil based variation w sun dried tomatoes also very easy and yummy π
I love oil-based pasta too. Sayang lang kasi my kids are not into that kaya I stick to the “safer” choices. LOL
