Follow package instructions as depends on the pasta type used. I used Penne Rigate. Do not Overcook. Drain them once cooked and reserve half cup of the pasta water. Apply Olive oil to prevent sticking to each other.
- Saute Minced Garlic in Olive oil. Add cubed veggies of your choice,l used carrots, red and green bell peppers. Blanch Brocolli for 2-3 mins in hot water and saute for 2-3 mins. Do not overcook. They should have a bit of a crunch.
- Cook bit of All Purpose Flour in olive oil and Butter for a minute till no lumps. Do not brown. Add warm milk bit by bit whisking it till smooth . Cook on low heat till thickens slightly.
- Add heavy cream, and mix well. Add salt, Dried Oregano, Black Pepper and Nutmeg powder. Add Grated Parmesan Cheese.
