Pasta is something which is really quick to prepare and healthy if you top up with loads of vegetables.
Sometimes when I am not in mood to cook anything time consuming, pasta is that something which I always love to experiment with. So here is the description of last pasta dish I try.
1. Pasta(mix of fussili and penne)
2. Cut vegetables ( 2 cup carrots cut in small cubes, 1/2 cup green peas, 1 cup mushrooms cut in medium pieces, 1 cup chopped tomato, 1 red onion sliced, 4 cloves of garlic minced, chopped salad leaves(Ruccola)
3. 1 cup spinach (frozen or fresh chopped)
4. 1/2 cup cream
5. 1/2 cup tomato sauce
6. 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 4-5 black pepper, 1 stick cinnamon
7. 3 spoon vinegar
8. chilly flakes, oregano, black pepper powder and salt as per taste
9. Olive oil for cooking and dressing
Boil the pasta in a pan adding 1 spoon oil and little salt and cook till its soft. Once done then drain the hot water and put the pasta in hot water. This will prevent pasta to become sticky.
In a pan put some olive oil and heat it. Add cinnamon stick, black pepper, and cumin seeds and let it clicker. Add sliced onions and minced garlic to it, add salt as per taste and cook untill the onions are golden brown. Adding salt will makes onions to cook faster.
Add cut vegetables except the tomatoes to the pan and add 3 spoon vinegar to it. vinegar helps in tenderizing the vegetables and add a distinct taste to it.
cook for 15 mins and then add chilly flakes, 1 spoon oregano and chopped salad leaves to it and cook for another 2 minutes. Add chopped tomatoes and cook for another 5 minutes. Now add tomato sauce and mix well and finally add the cream to it(if dont want the fat from cream then add one cup milk). Now add the boil pasta to this and stir it properly so that the sauce get evenly mixed in the boiled pasta. cook it for 2 minutes and then dress it with olive oil and serve hot with Garlic bread.
Vegetables like Cauliflower, broccoli, red and green pepper will add more texture and color to it.
Note: You can prepare the pasta vegetable sauce and can refrigerate it. Then its simply adding it to boil pasta and prepare instant healthy pasta in minutes.
