Vegetable Spaghetti in white mint sauce
About:
I have tried white sauce in pasta earlier (link) but this time just wanted to try white sauce in spaghetti so tried this variation with mint white sauce. Here in this recipe spaghetti is tossed in low fat minty white sauce along with bell peppers, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, scallions, red onions.
Enjoy this vegetable spaghetti in white mint sauce for breakfast or even for dinner.

- Timed and sliced mushrooms-8-10num
- Salt- as per taste
- Olive oil-1tbsp
- White mint sauce-2cups (recipe link)
Procedure:
- Bring a large pot of water to boil, add salt and spaghetti and cook for 5-6 minutes or follow instructions on the box.
- Once cooked drain and add olive oil mix well to avoid sticking each other.
- Heat oil in the skillet over high heat, add garlic, onions and cook for 2-3minutes.

I don’t have much experience using mint or any other herb, do you have any suggestions on how to get started integrating it into your cooking routine?

For most of the dishes these herbs are blended to make a smooth paste along with other ingredients…Mint goes well with savoury dishes and even sometimes for few desserts…
