If I say Italy, You say?

Pasta! What else? Though there is lot other things to embrace in Italy, the main thing most of us foodie remember is Pasta. Preparing any kind of Pasta salad recipe requires creativity and passion. Italian Pasta recipe has its own flavor and fans. As we all know there are different kinds of pasta, I used Rotini Pasta to prepare this salad.



Cooking during weekends is difficult for me. With my husband sitting in the sofa enjoying himself watching a movie or browsing the net, I feel lazy to even get up to drink water. Seeing this my husband volunteered to cook dinner on Saturday. OK. What's going on? Is he really going to cook? Thank god! Yes. I decided to help him for various other reasons and knowing the very fact of how my kitchen will look after he finishes his cooking.

He decided to do Egg Pasta Salad dipped in chilli sauce with some leftover vegetables. Vah! Here is the recipe,

Ingredients:

Pasta - Desired amount as given in the manufacturers direction
1 cup of Onions Sliced lengthwise
1 cup of Zucchini Sliced lengthwise
1/4 cup of tomato
1/4 cup lettuce
1/4 cup of Spinach
1/4 cup of corn (optional)
1/4 of celery
1/2 cup of bell pepper
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 tbspn of Chilli sauce
2 eggs



Method:

Cook pasta as given in the manufacturers direction. Keep it aside.

In a pan, add some oil. Then add onions and saute them.

Add tomatoes,and all the other vegetables including corn and cook with little water.

Add salt and pepper.

After say 3min, add the chilli sauce and some more water to the mixture and cook in Sim flame for 5 min.

All the vegetables would have absorbed the flavour and now it is time to mix the cooked pasta.

Switch of the stove and mix the cooked pasta with this mixture.

You can serve at this point if you do not want to add eggs. Check for the seasonings and serve hot.

Meanwhile in another pan, add some oil and break the eggs in the pan. cook them with salt and pepper.

Scramble the eggs and when it is ready add this to the vegetable pasta mixture.

Mix well and serve hot.

If you feel that its very spicy, then squeeze a lemon on top!

This recipe doesn't require any side dish. But, if you want, be your boss.
