I brought you this time an absolutely yummy recipe; Baked Penne Pasta with Béchamel sauce, this is a super simple quick meal that you will be making over and over again.
Penne Pasta with Bechamel is so common in Egyptian cuisine and they call it macarona bel bechamel literally means pasta with béchamel, traditionally Pasta and minced meat or sometimes a spiced up chicken layered beautifully then topped with thick bechamel sauce (I’ll share that soon).
This time I’m making simple pasta with white sauce (no meat), start by preparing the béchamel sauce then saucing the pasta and placing it into the oven it’s a masterpiece for pasta lovers, it tastes yummy the first day, but far more flavourful the day after, try it and let me know in the comments below, and don’t forget to check my other Pasta Recipes.
