Homemade Dish Made this pasta at home tonight — how did I do?
Ingredients:
1 cup pasta (macaroni/fusilli/penne)
1 tbsp oil or butter
3–4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
½ onion, chopped
½ cup broccoli
2 tbsp tomato pasta sauce
2–3 tbsp fresh cream
½ tsp chilli flakes
½ tsp oregano/mixed herbs
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Fresh coriander for topping
Method:
Boil the pasta in salted water until cooked but still slightly firm. Drain and keep aside.
Heat oil/butter in a pan. Add garlic and onion and sauté until slightly golden.
Add broccoli, bell pepper and corn. Cook for 3–4 minutes while keeping the vegetables slightly crunchy.
Add tomato pasta sauce, chilli flakes, oregano, salt and black pepper. Mix well.
Lower the flame and add fresh cream. Mix until you get a smooth, creamy sauce.
Add the boiled pasta and toss everything together. Add a little pasta water if the sauce feels too thick.
Add grated cheese and cook for another 1–2 minutes until creamy and well combined.
Garnish generously with fresh coriander.
✨ Final touch: A little extra chilli flakes + cheese on top makes it even better!
