Farfalle, commonly known a "bow tie pasta" comes in various sizes. I chose the smaller farfalle as cheese and rich sauce coats really well on it. It is also an exciting shape for kids to try. The key to any baked pasta dish such as this one is not to overcook the farfalle. It should be slightly underdone before baking it so that the pasta retains its texture after baking.It is a delicious one pot vegetarian dish that is novel to your guests, but simple enough for a midweek dinner.
Serve Baked Farfalle Pasta with Mushrooms Peas and Lemon White Sauce with some toasted Garlic Bread for a weeknight dinner or your pizza party. You can also enjoy it with a glass of wine.

Heat a pan on medium heat and add 1-1/2 tablespoon butter. Grate 2-3 garlic cloves in the butter. Add diced onion. Stir fry for a couple of minutes and cook till the onions become transparent. Be careful not to brown them.
At this stage, add the all-purpose flour and whisk continuously for a minute. Once the roasted aroma starts coming from the flour, start adding milk in small amount and keep whisking so that no lumps are formed. Let it Simmer for about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper powder to the milk and flour mixture and mix well. Turn off the heat and add half of the grated cheese to the mixture and whisk well. Finally add the lemon juice and whisk it again.
Grease a baking dish with 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Layer the baking dish with cooked pasta, lemony white sauce, sauteed mushrooms and peas one after the other. Finally top it with the remaining grated cheese. For additional flavor punch, place a few lemon slices on top.
Place the baking dish in preheated oven. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. As you start noticing light brown crust on the top of the pasta and the creamy sauce bubbling from its sides, turn of the oven and take the baking dish out carefully.
