Veggie Pasta

For all who has asked me for the recipe..here it is :)

Pasta – 1 Pack, I used Penne

Onion – 1 large

Garlic – 6 cloves

Carrots – 2

Green Bell Pepper – 2

Baby corn-3 to 4

Spring onion- 4 to 5

Olive Oil – 6 tbsp

Water – 3 cups

Oregano – 2 splashes, optional

Chilly Falkes-1 Splash, optional

Sugar, optional

Basil Pesto Sauce – 1/2 cup

Salt – 1 tbsp

Finely chop the onions and chop all other vegetables into chunks.

Boil pasta in plenty of salted water, till al dente. If you are not using the pasta immediately, wash it in cold water and set aside.

In a large wok, heat the olive oil. Add the onions and fry on medium high heat till they turn golden brown – about 5 minutes. Add a dash of sugar. Make sure you take the time to caramelize the onions; they add a nice sweetness to the dish.

When the onions are well browned, add the garlic and sauté 1 minute. Then add all chopped vegetables. Sauté on medium high for 7 minutes. Then add salt, oregano and chilly flakes. Add the basil pesto sauce and sauté it for few minutes.

Let the vegetables and the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in chopped spring onions.

To serve, spoon some olive oil over the pasta and garnish with basil.
