Baked Pasta in Bechamel and Tomato Sauce is a delicious pasta dish full of rich tomato sauce, cheese, and a creamy béchamel sauce. I love tomato and cream flavors and this is the best recipe I go back to again and again.
Béchamel is nothing but the simple white sauce made with white flour, butter and milk and the tangy red sauce made of tomatoes and seasonings. I have given the complete recipe of Bechamel and Pizza/Pasta sauce. You can use any mix of your favourite vegetables for this recipe and I am sure you will be able to churn out the yummiest pasta.
