Basic White Sauce

[bluejeans07]

On Wednesday, I went out to lunch to this great pasta place that I had no idea that existed. I ordered this extremely tasty pasta composed of sun dried tomatoes, peas, Italian sausage, some mushrooms, and garlic, soooo tasty! I'm going to try to recreate it today.

Alix gave me a basic white sauce recipe:

Cool! Thanks for posting this, Jean. I'm always looking for good recipes. What I do is, anytime I feel like having something special for dinner, I usually go online and try out the recipes. If I like it, I usually write it into my recipe book. If not, I usually throw the print out in the paper shredder. I'll give this recipe a try one of these days. :)
