Spicy Pasta with Gram masala and Vegetables

I won’t say that I love pasta but I won’t say that I hate it either. Pasta is an easy dish usually dished out for a quick dinner. Among the various pasta sauces the one that we like the most is Ragu® Chunky Garden Combination Pasta Sauce . We have tried lots of sauces but never really liked any of them and rarely do I make béchamel sauce for my pasta. I am also not knowledgeable enough in variations of pasta sauce and recipes to vary the taste. So in my kitchen pasta has the same taste every time I make it! When my dear hubby asked to make pasta the other day I wanted to experiment with my culinary skill. So I decided to make Indian version of pasta.

I decided to stir fry the vegetables and tried not to add any cheese, so that I can discover the taste of pasta without any cheese attack. Around 9 0’clock in night I started making the pasta and within 15 minutes my tasty pasta was ready. My hubby told me he was going to use Ragu sauce along with it. However, when he opened bottle that was stored in the fridge it had some fungus, so he has thrown that away and in was in need of a new one. Finally he didn’t open the new bottle, but instead tried it with a few drops of tomato ketchup. I didn’t try any additions of ketchup or sauce, and yet it tasted yummy. Now I have discovered one more way of making tasty pasta. I made my pasta this way.

What you need

Fresine pasta/any kind of pasta: 2 ½ cup
Red bell pepper: ½ (Chopped into cubes)
Green Bell pepper: ½ (chopped into cubes)
Onion: ¼ cup (chopped finely)
Baby Portabella mushroom: 1 (Chopped)
Tomato: 1 no (Chopped into cubes)
Carrots: 2 no ( Chopped into cubes)
Ginger: 1 inch piece (chopped finely)
Olive oil : 2 tablespoon
Butter: 2 tablespoon
Garam masala: ½ teaspoon
Red chilli powder: ½ teaspoon
Salt: ½ tablespoon
Water: 4 cups

How I made

Boil water in a sauce pot; once it starts boiling add ¾ of salt and one tablespoon of oil. To this add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

In the mean time heat another pan add remaining oil and butter and add onion and fry them until they change color or become translucent it takes about 6-7 minutes. To this add chopped veggies and ginger and fry them with ¼ teaspoon of salt for another 7 minutes. Then add red chili powder and gram masala powder and fry for another 3 minutes or until everything combined well. Add cooked pasta and mix everything so that masala and veggies get mixed with pasta.

Serve warm. Enjoy

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Yield: 2 serving of 1 ¼ cup
Verdict: Tasty
Will you make it again: I will
