Masala Macaroni.

We all are familiar with the kids extreme fondness of Mac and cheese... keeping this in mind and trying to make it more fun and nutritious ended up trying this masala macaroni!!!!
Thanks to my kids and their friends for trying it the first time I made this recipe, they really liked it.






Ingredients:
Macaroni pasta- 2 cups.( cooked to andante)
1 small onion.
1 large tomato.
1 small cup of frozen mixed veggies of corn,carrots, and peas.
1 tsp tomato paste.
1 tsp chili flakes.
1 tsp Italian seasoning.
1 large green chilli(optional).
Salt.
Oil.

Method:
Start by preparing all the veggies-chop onion and tomato and slit the chilli into two.
Cook the macaroni pasta to aldante(in salted water).
In a large pan, heat oil and once the oil is hot, add chilli flakes followed by onion. Fry till onion turns translucent.
Add the chopped tomatoes and frozen veggies and continue frying till the veggies turn soft, lastly add tomato paste and Italian seasoning. Fry till the mixture looks like a gravy.
Finally add the cooked macaroni and mix well, adjust the salt and serve hot.
Good to eat on a cold day.
