Let’s get real—weeknight dinners shouldn’t be complicated. This creamy, dreamy white sauce pasta is my *ultimate crowd-pleaser* (even my picky eater approves!). Plus, it’s faster than waiting for delivery.
**What You’ll Need**:
- 2 cups pasta (penne or fusilli work great)
- 1 chicken breast, cubed *(or swap with mushrooms for veggie-friendly!)*
- 1 medium capsicum, diced
- 2 tbsp butter π§
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups milk π₯
- **Spice Mix**: 1 tsp chili powder, ½ tsp cumin powder, ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp white pepper, chili flakes (to taste)
- *Optional*: Grated cheese for extra gooeyness π§
**Let’s Do This**:
1️⃣ **Pasta Perfection**: Boil pasta with a pinch of salt + 1 tsp oil (keeps it from sticking!). Drain and set aside.
2️⃣ **Flavor Boost**: Toss chicken cubes with ½ the spice mix. Let it marinate while you chop the capsicum.
3️⃣ **Sear & Sizzle**: In a pan, cook chicken until golden. Add capsicum and sautΓ© for 2 mins. Set aside.
4️⃣ **Magic Sauce Time**: Melt butter, whisk in flour until toasty. Slowly pour in milk, stirring non-stop. Add remaining spices—watch it thicken into silky goodness!
5️⃣ **Bring It Together**: Toss pasta, chicken, and veggies into the sauce. Stir in a handful of cheese (trust me, it’s life-changing π«).
6️⃣ **Plate Like a Pro**: Top with chili flakes + fresh herbs. *Cue the Instagram-worthy fork twist!*
**Why You’ll Love This**:
✅ Pantry staples only (no fancy ingredients!)
✅ Customize with veggies, tofu, or extra spice
