Just wanted to treat myself. And tada- a thought pops into my head. Who says you can't enjoy dinner alone?
So I whipped up a pasta- remotely Italian, mostly Indian, but very very tasty!
So I whipped up a pasta- remotely Italian, mostly Indian, but very very tasty!
- Boil water.
- Pour 1 1/2 cup Elbow macaroni in bits and stir softly, occasionally, without upsetting the pasta.
- Sort the veggie you need to cook- yellow and red bell pepper, babycorn, onion, tomato.
- Stare at the veggies and feel slightly lazy to chop them.
- Decide to use the 'mini chopper'. Yay!
- Put all the veggies together and blitzzz.
- Drain and cool macaroni.
- Think about what to put in the base pasta paste.
- Decide to wing it- courtesy my refrigerator.
- Blend- olive oil, water, coriander, mint leaves, basil, chilies, grated cheese and walnuts (handful in the blender, handful in your mouth).
- Heat olive oil. Add chilly garlic paste. Saute till you get the smell you get when your mum gets to cooking.
- Add the blitzzed veggies. Stir. (clockwise cause your grandmother told your mother who told you, so just do it!)
- Add the pasta paste (I like this alliteration).
- Stir some more. Talk to duniya bhar ka log who decide to call at this inappropriate time of self-healing cooking.
- Add macaroni
- Taste...Get hit by the taste of the chilies.
- Add salt.
- Add cream. Taste. Add more cream.
- Arrange on a plate with a mint leaf and a walnut. Not to forget some cheese!
- Decide that it needs something more to feel like a healing meal...
- Discover a rose wine hidden in a cupboard
- :)
- Drink, Eat, Catch some serials. Sleep like a log...Feel refreshed!
