I love quick and easy meals.....they make my life so much easier. This pasta dish takes about 30-40 minutes to prepare and yet it tastes amazingly yumm and looks very impressive.....that makes everyone think that you've been in the kitchen for a long time making it. I used the white sauce in this....it's a little different from the classic recipe coz I like to twist the recipe a bit. This one is a good alternative to the tomato based sauces. In my house, Miss J loves the tomato based ones especially if there are sausages added in it. But after she tried this one.....I think she has a new favourite now. Originally of Italian origin, the béchamel sauce is the standard white sauce. Immigrating from Tuscany, Italy to the royalty of France, the béchamel, previously named Balsamella, was easily adapted into the rich French cuisine. They renamed it after the chief steward to King Louis XIV, the marquis de Bechamel, and quickly found a number of delicious recipes to adapt
