No. This blog is not for recipes — but just this once I will indulge. Just to save the recipe somewhere so that I don’t forget it and add it to Pinterest . It was the 23rd of Ramadan and I made this for Iftar for my family of four.
Ingredients
1) 450 grams pasta of any style
1) 3 medium sized blanched tomatoes – pureed
2) 1 yellow and 1 red bell pepper – cut into medium strips
3) Carrots, french beans, corn, peas, etc. (any vegetable you like, cut into medium strips)
4) 4-5 stalks of spring onions – chopped
5) 2 medium sized green chillies – chopped
6) 4 cloves of garlic – cut into small dices
7) 100 grams pepperoni slices – cut into quarters
8) Olives – as desired
9) Knorr Italian style cheese pasta sauce – 1.5 packets
10) salt – as desired
11) Black pepper powder – as desired
Method:
Cook the pasta al dante. Strain and keep aside. Add olive oil to keep it from sticking. In a pan add the tomato puree and cook until its rawness has subsided. Add the Knorr Italian style cheese pasta sauce powder to it and mix until the powder clusters are gone. Add salt and black pepper powder to the sauce and cook until the desired consistency has been reached. Add the pasta to the sauce.
In a pan heat oil and add all the veggies along with half of the spring onions and saute for a minute. Add this to the pasta. In the same pan add pepperoni and the green chillies. Fry them until the pepperoni has turned crispy. Add this to the pasta along with olives. Garnish with the rest of the spring onions and serve hot.
