Easy Pasta


There are some recipes you can always fall back on.
This recipe is one of those. Easy to make and very tasty. I usually pack this in my kids lunch box. But there have been days when I served it for dinner too.
This recipe is an adaptation of Sanjeev Kapoor's. He had written in some magazine years ago promoting some salt brand.


Ingredients:
Pasta - 2 cups
Garlic - 2 cloves , chopped fine
Onion - 1 medium, chopped fine
Capsicum - 1/2, diced
Tomato - 1 big, diced fine
Salt to taste
Chilli flakes - 1 tsp
Mixed dried herbs - 1 tsp (optional)
Olive oil - 2 tbsp
Cheese grated - 5 tbsp
opt: Sweet corn kernels / green peas / mushroom - 3 tbsp

Method:
Cook the pasta 'al dente'.
Heat the olive oil in a pan and add the onion and garlic.
When the onion becomes transparent add the chilli flakes.
After a minute add the capsicum, tomato and any other vegetable, if using, with the salt.
Saute and cook covered, if necessary.
Add the drained pasta and mix well.
Serve with Cheese on top.
