Then let’s talk about spicy mixed vegetable pasta, think about Indian style pasta, eat a full bowl of super delicious Indian style spicy pasta with a lot of mixed vegetable of your choice. READY?

Various types of pasta

There is nothing good like hollow small pipe-shaped pasta. Though there are different types of pasta available in this world but everybody has his own choice. People mostly prefer a certain type of pasta what often differ between two pasta lovers. Sometimes people get confused with so many options. Sometimes I often get surprised that anybody can do research on this food also, Haha! Too many options are not always good.

Pasta is an Italian dish and nowadays very popular almost all over the world. People have started making this in their own way, some of those are very popular in those regions.

Hundreds of different dishes are available in Pasta, some of those are really superbly delicious.

What do you say?

Do you like mixed vegetable pasta?

Or you only prefer non-vegetarian pasta dishes and always stick to that. Haha!

But I know there are so many people who actually love mixed vegetable pasta a lot, including me. But if you do not like pasta without non-vegetarian item then you can add some chicken pieces to it. Cook that separately and cut into small pieces and spread over this super delicious Indian style mixed vegetable pasta. But I would never recommend this rather you should first try this dish as it is then you can do your experiment. Huh!

FEELING HUNGRY?

Many people want to have this as a proper meal for their lunch or dinner. But some people like to have this as a light meal and consume very little quantity as a snack or meal in the evening or late morning. But I prefer this in weekend late morning as I like to break rules during the weekend, particularly SUNDAY. Do you? But I do not think anything wrong in it. People like changes and sometimes good to break own rules. I think many people do so and like to do something crazy.

The best part of pasta dish

Particularly for this dish is, it is so simple to make and a novice cook can make this without making any disaster. There are so many simple pasta dishes available and that is why people have an extra preference for pasta.

Though there are many types of raw pasta are available in different corners of this world but fortunately or unfortunately local departmental store of my locality only has two or three of those, so I do not have many options to select favorite of mine, so less chance to get confused. As a result, just go to a shop and pick which one is available and come back home. Sometimes if I wish to eat something different then I can go to a big store (not in my locality) and purchase one.

OKAY coming to Indian style spicy pasta with a lot of mixed vegetables. So what do you think about pasta? It is delicious, creamy, baked, with a lot of meat and vegetable etc. But IS IT REALLY SPICY? Nope! Italian food is actually not spicy but Indian food is spicy because there are so many spices are available in India. Those are really unique, mouth-watering flavored and that is why many people love Indian food. But also some people hate spicy food too. Hmmm, let’s do not talk about haters, rather talk about lovers. PASTA lovers.

In my childhood whenever I heard about pasta, I started thinking about Arnold’s word from Terminator movie, that was “Hasta la Vista“, sounds like ‘Hasta la Vista Pasta’ Ha ha! Okay, that does not make any sense rather out of the context but those are good memories.

Use any seasonal vegetables of your choice to make this dish.
If you have ready-made tomato puree at home then use it instead of tomato paste
Adding some black pepper powder may work to some extent but as here already little more sun-dried red chilli used. So be a little bit careful unless it will be too hot
If you want gravy then adjust gravy while cooking, preserve pasta-boiled-water what was used for boiling pasta and add this in Indian style spicy mixed vegetable pasta, boil to adjust the thickness
