Spicy Bechamel Pasta

This is a very simple pasta dish based on one of the classic French sauces--Bechamel. It's relatively easy to make and tastes light years better than any pre-made white sauce out of a can or package. We paired with salad and leftover grilled pork chop.

Spicy Bechamel Pasta Recipe: 

• 1 tbsp. butter or margarine
• 1-2 tbsp flour
• 1 cup milk
• salt, black and cayenne pepper
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1/4 onion, diced very finely
• 1 fresh cayenne pepper
• 1 tbsp dried thyme
• 1/2 pkg thin spaghetti, cooked

Melt the butter or margarine in a medium sauce pan over medium low heat. Whisk in the flour until clumped and then pour in the milk. Whisk together. Add in the garlic, onion and fresh pepper, bring to a boil, then reduce, add seasonings and simmer for about 15 minutes or until thickened to your desire. Toss in the pasta and enjoy!
