Default Pasta Bake - Typically continental, amazingly delicious !

Any pasta can be used for this.

Pasta - 1 cup

Chopped Pineapple - 1 cup

Corn kernels - 1 cup

White Sauce:

Butter - 2 tbsp

Maida - 2 tbsp

Milk - 2 cups

Salt, pepper

Mozarella cheese , grated - 2 tbsp

Butter - to dot

Boil pasta in plenty of water to which 1 tsp oil & 1 tsp salt are added.

When it becomes just soft, drain completely & rinse with cold water.

Spread in a plate & smear little oil, all over to prevent stickiness.

Boil pineapple cubes with ½ cup of water & 2 tbsp sugar ( optional) in a pressure pan for 1 whistle.

Cool & open.

Boil the corn kernels soft.

White sauce:

Heat butter & add maida.

When it sizzles well, add hot milk, whisking well to prevent lump formation.

When it becomes a thick sauce, add salt & pepper powder.

Remove, add pasta, pineapple & corn.

Spread in a dish & sprinkle cheese all over.

Dot with butter & bake in an oven till top is brown.
