Last Weeks Practical: Home Ec

Pasta:
In home economics we had our practical last Thursday. The first thing the groups did was filled a pot half full and we waited for it to boil to be hot. After the water boiled we put the pasta into the boiling water, and we had to boil it for 8 to 10 minutes.

We then got Roux sauce/ White sauce.
We made the roux sauce so the pasta would have a taste and wouldn't be plain. Here is a couple of

things we had to use to make it with
Cornflour, Butter, Milk, Those were the main ingredients we used, but we also used Onions and garlic for bit of spice to have a good taste.

One more thing that we had to do was pasta was in the tray we put some cheese on it to melt and it went straight in the oven.
I think our group didn't do really well considering the cooking task we had wasn't hard it was a basic home meal that looked easy but didn't turn well in our groups.
