White Sauce Pasta

White Sauce Pasta is always tempting to eat whenever I go to any Italian restaurant. One day, When my husband asked me to try some Italian dish at home, I asked myself why not try our favourite recipe. I had this Rigotini type of pasta at my store room, which was purchased long back ago. I took it out and tried this recipe myself at home. I cannot say its 100 percent pefect restaurant type, but much satisfying home made one.
