About:

This creamy white sauce is made using 2%fat milk, whole wheat flour and olive oil without using any cream/cheese. You can enjoy it with your favorite pasta/spaghetti (link1/link2) or even in sandwiches. I used fresh mint paste in the sauce for the flavor in place of dried herbs.

I blanched mint for few seconds in hot water but it can be used without blanching as well. enjoy this minty white sauce on your favorite pasta dishes.
