Ingredients

100g Pasta
50g Cauliflower cutup
50g Mushrooms
Oregano to taste
Salt and Pepper to taste
Parsley for garnishing
*White sauce*
250ml whole milk
1/2 onion, chopped

Method

Step 1

Gently bring 500ml whole milk to the boil in a small saucepan with 1 halved onion, studded with 1 bay leaf and 2 cloves. Turn off the heat and leave to infuse for 20 mins.

Step 2

Melt 50g butter in another saucepan, then add 50g plain flour. Stir continuously until a paste forms – this is called a roux. Continue cooking for 2 mins.

Step 3

Remove the onion, bay and cloves from the milk with a slotted spoon and discard. Add the infused milk to the roux gradually, stirring as you go, until you get a smooth sauce. Cook for 5-10 mins, stirring continuously, until the sauce has thickened. Season to taste.
