Nevertheless, white sauce loaded with refined flour, butter and milk is hardly a healthy option. Here, in this innovative creation, whole wheat penne is tossed in a unique low-calorie white sauce made with minimal quantity of low-fat butter, whole wheat flour and low-fat milk. Cauliflower imparts an interestingly coarse mouth-feel to the sauce, while spinach adds to its health quotient. By reducing the quantity of penne and increasing the quota of vegetables, the Penne with Spinach in Low Calorie White Sauce is also made more fibrous and healthful than the usual pasta recipes. Enjoy this delicious treat occasionally, in moderation.
