Tangy Pasta snack

I love pasta !! :) And I like to try something different with it all the time. This is a simple snack which can be served with tea.


Enjoy!!

What do I need ??

2 cup boiled pasta (Penne, Macroni, Fusilli or any other similar type)
1/2 cup of sliced Onions,
1/2 cup of sliced Capsicum and Carrot,
2 table spoon corn kernels. If they are not the frozen ones, then cook them in water for 4-5 mins.
1 1/2 tablespoon Butter
1 teaspoon oil (preferably olive oil)
Salt to taste,
Italian Seasoning,
Chilli flakes
1/4 teaspoon soya sauce
1/4 teaspoon tomato ketchup


What are the steps ??

1. Heat the butter and oil in a pan.
2. Add the Onions and mix well.
3. Once the onions are cooked, add carrot and capsicum. Sprinkle some salt. Mix well and cover for 2 or 3 mins, giving time for the carrot to get at least half cooked.
4. Add the corn kernels and cover for a min or so.
5. Add all the spices and seasoning according to taste. Mix well and cook for another 2 mins.
6. Add the boiled pasta and mix well with the veggies. Keep the heat on for another few mins.

Serve with tea or coffe as an evening snack !!

Any tips ??
* If chilli flakes are not available, black pepper can be used. 
* Add salt and and few drops of oil while cooking the pasta.
* You can add some grated cheese in the end for enhancing the taste.
