Ingredients
- 7 1/10 oz dry pasta (penne or fusilli)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp all‑purpose flour
- 1 cup whole‑milk or low‑fat milk
- 1 scoop unflavored whey protein powder
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- to taste salt
- to taste freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp optional fresh herbs (parsley or basil)
Instructions
- 1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- 2Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8‑10 minutes.
- 3While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- 4Stir in the flour and whisk continuously for 1‑2 minutes to form a light roux; do not let it brown.
- 5Gradually pour the milk into the roux while whisking to prevent lumps; continue whisking until the mixture thickens, about 3‑4 minutes.
- 6Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the whey protein powder until fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth.
- 7Stir in the grated Parmesan, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and return to low heat to keep warm.
- 8When the pasta is done, drain it, reserving ¼ cup of the cooking water.
- 9Add the drained pasta to the white sauce, tossing to coat; if the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.
- 10Cook together for 1‑2 minutes so the pasta absorbs some of the sauce.
- 11Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- 12Transfer the pasta to serving plates, garnish with chopped fresh herbs if using, and serve immediately.
