Vegetable Pasta

This is one of my kids' favorite dish and very simple to prepare. Whenever there is a party at school, my kids vote for this dish. No wonder if I'll be named as Pasta mom :-). Here is the preparation with pictures of the ingredients and preparation.

As the name says, you need Pasta. I go for colored Pasta when I run out of vegetables or in a hurry. But most of the time, I use the plain pasta with lots of vegetables.

Here is the plate of colored vegetables that'll be added at different points of the preparation. You can add olives, beans and any other vegetables you like.

Add Pasta, carrots and salt to boiling water.

 

Check if Pasta is almost cooked. Add Capsicum and baby corn before 2 minutes of taking it off from the stove. This preserves the color and crispiness of the capsicum and baby corn.

Add mushroom at the end and let it stay for 1 minute in the boiling water. Don't boil it too much.

Drain the water.

In a bowl, add Olive oil and Pasta sauce.

Now add Pasta and mix well. That ends the process. Isn't that simple?

Other alternative is to use Salad dressing and Olive oil.

If you want, you can season it with Oregano. I save the Oregano seasoning that comes with Domino's Pizza for the same purpose.

Not just my kids, even my mom (who prefers only South Indian food) likes it too. Hope your kids like it too. Enjoy the Pasta...astalavista!!
