Ingredients:

• Butter: 2 tablespoons (about 200 calories)
• All-purpose flour: 1/4 cup (about 110 calories)
• Liquid milk: 1 1/2 cups (about 150 calories)
• Mozzarella cheese (shredded): 1 cup (about 300 calories)
• Oregano: 1 teaspoon
• Parsley: 1 teaspoon
• Tomato ketchup or tomato paste: 1/4 cup (about 70 calories)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Roux:

   • Place a saucepan over medium to low heat and add the butter.
   • Once the butter melts and starts to sizzle slightly, add the all-purpose flour.
   • Stir the flour into the butter continuously to create a smooth roux (a thickening agent). This process takes about 2-3 minutes.

2. Incorporate the Milk:

   • Gradually pour in the liquid milk in three portions while stirring vigorously. This gradual addition helps prevent lumps from forming in your sauce.
   • Continue stirring until the sauce starts to thicken. This typically takes about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Mozzarella Cheese:

   • Toss in the shredded mozzarella cheese and continue to stir until it's fully melted and incorporated into the sauce. This will contribute to the creamy texture and cheesy goodness of your pink sauce.

4. Season and Add Color:

   • Sprinkle in the oregano and parsley for added flavor.
   • To achieve the characteristic pinkish hue, introduce the tomato ketchup or paste. Stir until the sauce takes on the desired color and the ingredients are well combined.

5. Final Adjustments:

   • Taste your sauce and adjust the seasonings to your preference. You can add more herbs, salt, or pepper if needed.

6. Combine with Pasta:

   • Pour this luscious pink sauce over your cooked pasta of choice, whether it's spaghetti, fettuccine, or penne. Toss to coat the pasta evenly.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Your homemade pink sauce pasta is now ready to be served. Garnish with additional cheese or fresh herbs if desired.

Calorie Count: The estimated calorie count for the entire pink sauce, as listed in the ingredients, is approximately 830-860 calories.
