Italian Cuisine:
Conchiglitte means small shell pasta. Pomodoro means tomato. And this mouth watering dish is an Italian recipe. Kids always love pasta and instead of the regular masala pasta we make, here is a twist to the pasta flavor with healthy vegetables. You can add vegetables of your choice and serve.





Preparation Time: 10 min
Cooking Time: 30 min
Serves: 1
Ingredients:

  1. Conchiglitte / Small shell pasta - 1 cup
  2. Tomato - 2 medium sized - finely chopped
  3. Carrot - ¼ cup - grated
  4. Broccoli - ¼ cup - cut to small size
  5. Spinach - ¼ cup - finely chopped
  6. (peas, corn can also be added)
  7. Garlic - 3 pieces - finely chopped
  8. Pepper powder - 3 tsp
  9. Lime juice - 2 tsp
  10. Spring onion - 1 tbsp - cut into pieces
  11. Cheese - ¼ cup - grated
  12. Olive oil - 2 tbsp
  13. Salt to taste

Procedure:


  1.  In a large pan, heat olive oil. Add garlic and saute for few sec, As nice aroma comes out add paste. Garlic should not turn brown. Saute pasta for 2 min.
  2.  To this add vegetables of your choice. I added carrot, broccoli, spinach, spring onion. Give a good stir.
  3.  Then add tomatoes and mix well. Add salt and pepper. Before tomato becomes mushy add 3 cups of water and bring it to boil. You can add vegetable broth instead of water.
  4.  Reduce to medium flame and close the lid. Allow it to cook for 15 min. Water will be completely absorbed and pasta should be cooked well. At this stage add lemon juice and give a good stir. Finally garnish with cheese. Serve hot.
