After coming to the US, Pasta has become a weekly dinner for us. Atleast once in a week I cook Pasta for dinner. This makes it harder for me. If I cook pasta the same way, my big baby here is not eating. He wants variation. Cooking for him is more work than preparing for a math exam. Every meal must be different and atleast I must not have prepared it within that month. Sometimes I run out of recipes. But to be very honest, many a times my fellow foodies blog have helped me show variations in cooking.Kudos to you!
This time it is Pasta with Chilli sauce. This is the same chilli sauce we prepare for Gobi Manchurian (dry). Just added the Pasta and wow! it was spicy. You can reduce the quantity of spice according to your taste. This is yet another very easy and quick to make Pasta recipe.
Ingredients:
1 cup pasta (any type)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 tsp oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tbspn garlic, minced
1/2 tbspn ginger,finely chopped
1 tsp pepper powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tbspn chilli garlic sauce
Method:
Cook the pasta as given by the manufacturer.
In a pan, add oil. Add cumin seeds.
Now add garlic, ginger. Saute them for few seconds.
Add Onions and saute them.
Add cumin powder and 1 tbspn of water for the spice to cook.
Add pepper powder and chilli garlic sauce. Cook for a minute.
Add the cooked paste and mix well so that each pasta is coated with the sauce.
Makes a great dinner if you are a spice lover.
