White sauce for pasta is a simple sauce that comes together quickly and is a perfect way to dress up your pasta and maybe even meatballs.
After a short break, I am back. I don’t always share things that happen in my day to day life, but this time I thought I would share the reason I was off for the past week. We had a death in my family, my sister’s husband passed away just over a week ago. He has been battling cancer for the past few months and finally it ended his life. My heart goes out to my sister; I know she has a hard journey ahead of her. But she is strong and we are a close-knit family so we will be there for her.
As for today’s recipe, this is a simple recipe with just a few ingredients. It is perfect for any night of the week dinner. I have always loved a red sauce when it comes to spaghetti and meatballs, but if you know me at all I like to change things now and then. Another thing that I totally love is cheese, lots, and lots of cheese. This recipe is all about that and more.
Plus you know at this time of the year I am always stressed out, trying to get ready for the holidays, so I really love having simple recipes like this white sauce for pasta, just add the pasta, some meatballs, and maybe some greens on the side and you are good to go.
