Base For Soubise Sauce Pasta

Bechamel sauce forms the base here. That is cooked with added ingredients and adding pasta to it. If you do not have bechamel sauce prepared, use the heavy cream sauce instead. The added element will be tomato puree in both. That is also the reason for the colour of the sauce.

Flavours in Soubise Sauce Pasta

We are only using salt & pepper and red chilli flakes for flavouring. But if it is too bland for you, you can always use more spices like oregano, paprika, curry powder, or something similar.

We can replace black pepper powder with white pepper powder. Or we can alter the measures of these ingredients.

Soubise Sauce Mac & Cheese

You can have your mac & cheese with this sauce. To do that, cook the sauce first and boil the macaroni pasta. Then add half of the grated cheese you will need for this recipe into the sauce.

Place the pasta in a baking dish and pour the sauce once the cheese melts.

Grate the remaining cheese over the pasta. Bake them in a preheated oven once done. For moisture, you can add some melted butter over it. Or, if you wish to eat it later, you can refrigerate it for up to 3 days.
