Step 1

Boil the Pasta

Step 2

Bring 4–5 cups of water to a rolling boil in a pot. Add 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp oil.

Step 3

Add the Penne pasta and cook for 8–10 minutes until al dente (cooked through but slightly firm to the bite).

Step 4

Drain the water and rinse the pasta with cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.

Step 5

Sauté the Veggies

Step 6

Heat 1 tbsp butter/oil in a pan over medium heat.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and saute for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the diced onions, capsicum, and sweet corn.

Step 9

Saute on high flame for 2–3 minutes so they stay crunchy. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper, then remove veggies from the pan and set aside.

Step 10

Prepare the White Sauce

Step 11

In the same pan, melt 2 tbsp butter over low heat.

Step 12

Add 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (maida). Whisk continuously for about 1–2 minutes on low heat until the raw smell vanishes (do not let it turn brown).

Step 13

Gradually pour in 2 cups of milk in a thin stream while whisking continuously to avoid any lump formation.

Step 14

Cook on low-medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon smoothly.

Step 15

Stir in salt, black pepper, and cheese

Step 16

Combine Everything

Step 17

Add the sauteed vegetables and boiled penne pasta into the creamy white sauce.

Step 18

Garnish & Serve

Step 20

Transfer the pasta into a dish

Step 21

Generously sprinkle red chili flakes, oregano, and a touch of finely chopped fresh coriander on top.
