step wise pics of making masala pasta
1. first step is to cook the pasta in correct way. heat approximately 3-3.5 cups water in a deep saucepan or pot with salt. let it come to a rolling boil.
2. when it is boiling, wash and add 1.5 cups pasta to it. let it cook for 5-8 minutes on high. mine took nearly 10 minutes to get soft. read the instructions on pasta cover as each type of pasta will require different timing to cook.
3. while the pasta is cooking, lets make the masala for it. heat 2-3 tbsp of oil in a pan/skillet and add crushed ginger and garlic. you can also add ginger garlic paste. also add chopped onions and fry until onions are transparent.
4. further add mixed vegetables. I have added bellpeppers(green , yellow, red), olives and carrots chopped finely. You can also add corn or peas or beans. Add very little of each. any 3-4 vegetable will be good. fry for a minute.
5. after a minute of frying, add tomato puree, turmeric powder, chilli powder and garam masala. mix well. for tomato puree, simply grind the tomatoes.
6. close and cook in medium heat for 5 minutes until the vegetables and tomatoes are cooked. open and mix once.
7. by this time. pasta would have cooked. strain it and add it to the pan.
8. add tomato sauce to taste and mix well and cook for a minute. serve hot.
