White Sauce Veggie Pasta

The white sauce used in this pasta is similar to the béchamel sauce in lasagna, making this dish creamy and cheesy. With the lentils, Italian spices, and a mix of veggies, each bite is a burst of satisfying goodness. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner, when you fancy some delicious pasta, but don't want to spend too much time making it.

Quick and easy midweek meal that comes together nicely and a bonus it’s freezable 😊

A tasty recipe!
I’m not sure if I did something wrong, but when I initially put the butter and flour into the pan, it formed a clump, rather than a liquid like the picture. Once I added the milk, it was ok again.

Thanks so much for trying the recipe, Alex, so glad you enjoyed the flavours. When making what's called a roux (the butter and flour mixture), it often forms a soft paste or clump at first rather than looking liquid. This is actually totally normal! It usually becomes smooth and saucy once the milk is added and whisked in 🤗 The variation you're seeing could be in how hot the pan was, or variations in different brands of vegan butter and how they melt. If you’d like it to look a bit smoother before adding the milk next time, you can try lowering the heat slightly and whisking continuously as soon as the flour goes in. But overall, what you described is okay. So happy it came together in the end✨

Not my favorite- flavors have definite promise, but texture was a bit claggy. I did use whole wheat fusilli to increase fiber, so maybe it needed some pasta water or something to loosen the sauce? Just felt like it lacked something! I didn’t put fresh herbs in at the end, so maybe will try it again with a few modifications, but welcome any suggestions!

Heyy Amanda, thanks so much for giving the recipe a try! Using whole wheat fusilli could make the dish feel a bit thicker, as it tends to absorb more liquid than general pasta. Adding a splash of reserved pasta water (or more soy milk) when combining everything is a lovely idea to help loosen out the sauce 😊 I've also found it mellows flavours as the pasta itself tastes rather more prominent and earthy. If you still want to stick with WW pasta, the fresh herbs at the end are great to brighten everything up, or a squeeze of lemon or an extra pinch of salt may also help lift the flavours if it feels like something is missing. If you end up trying it again with a few tweaks, we’d love to hear how it turns out for you 🫶

Loved this recipe as a week night dinner! So quick and easy. We used some fresh veggies, aborigine and tomato’s! Would really recommend a quick squeeze of lemon juice on top! Really brought out the flavour!!

Really easy to make and adjustable with the veggies.
I Used mostly fresh veggies and added them with the onions, because i cant find frozen mixes I really like. Mushrooms Wenn really nicely with the Rest (carrot, peas and corn)
And its really filling (maybe because i upgedatet the veggies.)
This will definetly go into the Rotation.

Woohoo! We're so happy to hear this, Debby, and love the idea of using fresh veggies too ☺️


Martunia - Feb. 7, 2026, 8:05 p.m.

Very flavorful and satisfying 😌 I used a frozen "spring soup" veggie mix because that's what I had in the freezer but next time I'll definitely go for a mix of peas and carrots. Still, the sauce is simply delicious.

This looks interesting 🙃

There's a little mistake on step 3/6 - it says to swap Italian seasoning for any pasta of choice. It probably escaped from the previous step 🙂

Heyy Marijana, whoops, thanks for catching this! We've just updated the recipe. Hope you love it 🫶
