Butterfly pasta!

Pasta is a dish which is filling, yummy and pleases kids and adults alike. I have tried different shapes of pasta, but was not sure what to do with the butterfly pasta.. There was this one box of butterfly pasta lying around for a long time. I came across this recipe on a website and it seemed to be really interesting. Tried it and was yummy!!!




Ingredients:
Butterfly pasta- 1 box.
Broccoli - 1 large cup, finely chopped
Red onion- 1 small.
Bell pepper- 1 small.
Olive oil-2 table spoon.
Chili flakes- 1 tsp( adjust per taste).
Garlic - 1 pod.( crushed)
Parmesan cheese( as per taste).
Salt and Pepper.

Method:
Chop the veggies, and keep them ready. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water till they are aldente, drain and keep aside.
 Simultaneously when the pasta is cooking, in another large pan, add olive oil, once the oil is hot add the pepper flakes, garlic and onions into the hot oil and fry them for 2 mins. Then add the chopped slices of bell pepper and fry for another 2 mins.
Finally  add the chopped broccoli and fry for 6-8 mins. Season them with salt and pepper.
To this fried mixture add the cooked pasta and mix well, check for seasoning. Grate some cheese and mix well.
This pasta can be served hot or cold.
Enjoy!!!
