Pasta Primevera

I've always loved good home-cooked food. Long ago, my mom told me that if I liked home-food this much, then I better learn to cook. Though I procrastinated for several years (until I moved into my own place and found a willing guinea pig ;)), of late I've started enjoying spending my evenings experimenting with new recipes.

Let me start off this blog with one of my early recipes - pasta.

Ingredients (for two servings):

• 1 cup raw pasta
  
• 1 potato
• 1/2 cup of shelled green peas
• 1/2 cup golden corn
• 1 capsicum
  
• 1 onion
  
• 1 cup milk
• 3 slices of cheese (you can use flavoured for more spice).
  
• Butter to saute
  
• salt and chilli powder to taste

Preparation:

• Peel and chop the potato, capsicum and onion into small pieces.
• Pressure cook the following: raw pasta, potato, green peas and corn.
• In a wide, shallow utensil, saute the onion and capsicum for 2 mins in a little bit of butter.
• Add the milk and cheese slices and allow the milk to boil. The cheese will melt and you'll have a yummy cheese sauce.
  
• Add the boiled pasta, potato, peas and corn mixture.
  
• Add salt, pepper and chilli powder according to taste.
  
• Close the utensil and allow to simmer for a minute.

Viola! You have a yummy pasta primevera in the comfort of your very own home. Serve with a few slices of toasted bread / sauce as per tastes. Tastes even better with the addition of oregano and chilli flakes.


Please note: You can adjust the vegetables / cheese you use according to taste. The picture I've used is one of my early attempts - doesn't have corn in it. I came up with the above recipes after various trials.

Enjoy! :)
