Pasta is one of the traditional Italian cuisines. It is basically a type of noodle that is available in a variety of shapes and sizes on the market. Pasta is now consumed by people all over the world. Preparing pasta at home requires a little effort but not a lot. One can prepare it for both lunch and dinner for a change, or if you can surprise your child by inviting his friends to a gathering and serve homemade pasta. As the season of love arrives, here is an easy pasta recipe so you can make February 14th extra special with your handmade pasta for your loved one.
The ingredients you will need are:
Pasta – 1 whole package
Fresh Milk – 2 Liters
Fresh cream – a cup
Cheese cubes – 6 grated cubes
Red bell pepper – 1 chopped
Yellow bell pepper – 1 chopped
Green bell pepper – 1 chopped
Sweet Corn – One cup and boiled
Onion – 2 large and chopped
Garlic – 1 minced
Fresh mushrooms – 100 grams, boiled and cut into pieces
Oregano – 4 tablespoons
Chile Flakes – To Taste
Salt to taste
Vegetable/virgin olive oil – 4 tablespoons
Time to cook –30-40 minutes
Cooking process –
Cut the packet of pasta and empty all the contents into a saucepan filled with warm water. Add a little salt and a few drops of oil so that the pasta does not stick together. When the pastas are tender, drain the water, then add cold water and a few drops of oil and set aside.
Now heat the oil in a deep frying pan and fry the chopped onions and garlic in it. Keep the flame medium. As you fry them, add a pinch of salt. When the onions are golden, lower the heat and slowly add the milk, stirring simultaneously. When the milk is hot, add the grated cheese and then the crème fraiche one by one with continuous stirring (you should be aware that sometimes when adding the cream to the milk, there is a possibility that the milk will be destroyed, so always use fresh cream). Let the milk simmer for some time. When the milk is thick, add the pasta after draining the water. Then add the bell peppers, capsicum, sweet corn, and mushroom one by one. Turn the heat back to medium and continue stirring the mixture. You can also add a little salt if needed. When it is cooked, turn off the heat. Now add the oregano and the cold flakes and mix well. And voila, the pasta is ready to serve.
Tip: You can also serve garlic bread along with the pasta if you are making it for a guest. It is recommended that this preparation be served hot. Non-vegetarians can add boneless boiled chicken pieces instead of pasta with mushrooms and enjoy the pasta at home.
