Rooster Béchamel Pasta Bake – Savory&SweetFood

Right here I’m after the obligatory submit Ramadan break with this Rooster Béchamel Pasta Bake. 😀 Tacky pasta bake is at all times a nice, comforting dinner any day. Who doesn’t love pasta and cheese, proper? I’ve been considering of making an attempt out the essential béchamel pasta for a very long time now. My neighbor who’s a Lebanese at all times makes béchamel pasta at their residence. They usually do ship me some too. I like their model which may be very mildly flavored however I wished to make my very own spicy type of pasta bake with a extra stronger taste.

That is how mine appeared and it tasted yummy. My fussy eater son, Hamad accepted it too which is an achievement for me. Normally minced meat is utilized in béchamel pasta, however since my husband doesn’t like kheema or any form of minced meat primarily based dishes, I used hen breasts.

Hope you all will give this a attempt. Take pleasure in!
