pasta with cream and chive sauce


I recently got back from a trip to the mountains and I had, for one of the dinner meals, pasta with sour cream and chive sauce. When I got back I decided to make it. It contained pasta with a creamy chive sauce it was a quick meal that didn't take much effort, only about thirty minutes to make and reaped a lot of rewards as you can see on the expression on my younger brother's face. In all fairness the pasta in the mountains was nothing compered to my rendition of the dish but my own version wasn't the best either and it could use a lot of improvement. Next time, I would improve it by making far more sauce or less pasta, as it was quite dry.
Here I am making the roux. A roux is a type of base that you use to make a sauce. It contains equal parts flour and butter, which, depending on the length that you cook it, it gets darker and thicker.
