Being Sunday I decided to get up a bit late in the morning and my schedule just went haywire. I had promised my nephew and neice that I'd make pasta for lunch. I tried getting out of that, tried bartering, promised gastronomic delights for the next week..... to no avail. I was the focus of accusatory looks. This recipe was born from that desperation... 1st to make pasta and 2nd to make it fast. So it's a mix of Indian, Mexican and Italian.... so we'll call this recipe Indimexicalian!! I just brought out the ingredients my fridge had inside. So here goes.
Recipe for Indimexicalian Pasta
Pour some olive oil in a pressure cooker. When it's hot add coarsely chopped garlic, green chilli, mint and corriander to it. Then add chopped onions, bell peppers, carrots (you could also add mushrooms... or just about anything you want to)..... sauteed for a couple of minutes and then added some salsa sauce. Then mixed it all up. Then added the spaghetti sticks (which I broke into halves) and added enough water to cover up all the spaghetti in there and some. After that add salt/sugar and paprika to your taste. Put the lid and weight and cook till you hear the 1st whistle. After about 10mins. Pour the contents into an oiled baking dish. Add bread crumbs (to mop up any extra liquid) and top it up with cheese. Bake in a pre heated oven at 200 Deg C till the cheese turns a nice brown. Voila!!! You are ready to serve the Pasta. Did taste good ... international integretion huh!
