About Veg Pasta

Veg Pasta is pasta dish made with boiled pasta, peas, capsicum, onion and schezwan sauce. Its a very simple recipe, does not need fancy ingredients but taste really good and wholesome. Pasta should be cooked soft but still little firm so it mixes well with the sauce and vegetables.

The sauce is little tangy and spicy, it goes very well with sweet peas and crunchy capsicum. You also can add carrot, beans or corn to make it more colorful and healthier. It stays light but also filling, so good for quick meal. It also looks good on plate with colorful vegetables and sauce coating pasta.

Texture is soft with little firmness in pasta and little crunch in vegetables. Herbs and pepper gives small aroma which makes it good to eat. Indo-Chinese style makes it bit different from normal pasta.

I sometimes make on weekend lunch when we are not doing heavy meal. I usually make this pasta when I don't want complicated dishes and want something quick but filling. Kids like it a lot too.

Veg Pasta Ingredients

  • Pasta - I have used penne here. It cooks soft but still holds shape. You can use macaroni or fusilli also. I usually rinse after boiling so it does not stick together.
  • Green peas - I used for little sweetness and soft texture. Frozen peas works fine too. Fresh peas gives better taste if you get. Sometimes I pressure cook few whistles before adding.
  • Butter - I add for smooth taste and richness, you can use oil instead. Butter also makes pasta little glossy and sauce sticks better.
  • Onion - I use for little sweetness and thick base. Onion also gives aroma while cooking.
  • Capsicum - I add for crunch and color, green and red together looks nice. Can use more or less. Saute lightly so stays crunchy.
  • Schezwan sauce - I used for tangy and spicy flavor. You can reduce for mild taste or mix little ketchup to balance.
  • Mixed herbs - I add for subtle herby flavor, oregano or basil also works.
  • Pepper powder - I used this for light heat and aroma. Can add little more if like spicy.

About How to Cook Pasta

Pasta is one of the most common dishes used in different ways. It is made by boiling in water along with some salt and a few drops of oil. Once it gets cooked right, you can mix with any sauce or just toss plain. There are many shapes like fusilli, penne and macaroni, but all can be cooked with same method.

The right texture of pasta is what makes it nice to eat. It should be soft but little firm inside, what we call 'al dente'. If you cook more, it becomes sticky and heavy. If less, it stays hard. So stirring well and checking in between helps to get that correct doneness. It make them nice and fluffy.

You can make it fresh and mix whatever sauce or topping you like. It is also healthy because you can control oil and salt. It fits well for lunch, dinner or even for lunch box. Sometimes I cook extra pasta and keep it in fridge, it helps when you want to fix dinner fast later.

I make pasta many times, especially on weekends or when I feel lazy to cook big meal. After draining I just add few drops of oil to keep it separate. This small step keeps pasta soft even after cooling. I have used fusilli pasta here, you can use any type of pasta of your choice like penne, macaroni, shell, disc etc.

Pasta making is a time saving all-rounder recipe which will be nourished anytime by the entire family. Pasta cooking at home is made easy with this recipe. Pasta is generally cooked, tossed in sauce / veggies and seasoned with herbs / spices.

About Chilli Garlic Noodles

Chilli Garlic Noodles is a tasty dish I keep making again and again whenever I crave for something spicy and garlicky. It is one of the most loved street style dish that is simple to make and tastes amazing every single time. This is a perfect recipe if you love garlic and spice like me.

This recipe has spicy garlic flavor, its so comforting. The best part is how quick it gets ready once the noodles are cooked. Just toss some garlic, sauces and you are done. The noodles stay soft yet not mushy and that smoky taste from high flame frying makes it so good.

You can add few veggies like carrot, cabbage or capsicum if you want to make it more colorful and healthy. Sometimes I also add bit of schezwan sauce when I want more spicy kick. Every version comes out nice honestly. This recipe has that texture, smell and taste, everything just hits the right spot.

I usually make this for dinner or as for lunch for my kids. You can just make it little less spicier for kids. It always gets finished fast in my house. But I love hakka noodles more than the instant ones.

For chili garlic noodles recipe, traditionally chili oil is used to give the pungent flavor and taste but here I have used chili paste sautéed in oil to replicate the taste and it comes out so good that we all loved it so much. Though I don't enjoy spicy food this noodles is sure an exception. Don't go by the look and color of the noodles, it is fiery hot and flavorful!

Chilli Garlic Noodles Ingredients

  • Noodles - I use hakka noodles. They cook soft but not sticky. You can use any noodles of your choice.
  • Garlic - I used more garlic for a nice flavor and aroma to the dish. You can add less if you want less garlic flavor, but I like adding more.
  • Red Chilli Paste - I added homemade red chili paste. It gives nice color and spice. You can use store bought paste too or replace with dry chili flakes.
  • Chilli Flakes - You can use this instead of paste. I add this sometimes when I run out of chilli paste. It gives that light crunch and dry heat.
  • Soya Sauce - I have used light soya sauce which adds deep flavor and little saltiness. This adds that typical Indo Chinese touch.
  • Vinegar - I used vinegar to add tangy balance to the spice. You can even use lemon juice if you like.
  • Spring Onion - I have added this while frying garlic also added this in the end for garnish. This adds freshness and small crunch to the noodles.
  • Pepper Powder - I used pepper powder just to balance the spice and give bit of heat. You can skip if you prefer mild version.
  • Olive Oil - I have used olive oil to fry garlic and sauces. This adds light flavor and keeps noodles shiny.

Why This Recipe Works

  • It's quick to make and very easy, perfect for sudden craving.
  • This recipe have strong garlic flavour that stands out beautiful.
  • Sauce coats noodles perfect without turning mushy.
  • You can adjust spice and sauce quantity as per your taste.

What is Chicken Stroganoff?

After reading up quite a few sources about stroganoff in general, this is what I came to know. Historically, this stroganoff was made with beef.

The original recipe for beef stroganoff dates back to Russia in the late 1800s, created by a chef who cooked this dish for his employer, Count Pavel Alexandrovich Stroganov and hence the dish is named after him. [source]

The native dish contained meat of your choice, mushrooms and sour cream which is how it is made today as well.

Thai cuisine has always fascinated me. The bold flavors, the use of different textures and colors, one pot meals, and above all the fact that most dishes come together super quickly.

My Vegan Thai Basil Fried Rice and my Thai pumpkin Curry  recipe are some of my favorite recipes ever and I make them all the time. These easy skillet noodles are inspired from Pad kee mao (drunken noodles). They come together quickly and hit the right spots!

You know me, I am a huge fan of cooking pasta in a skillet! Have you tried some of my skillet lasagnas? Life-changing!

Preparing pasta in a skillet along with the sauce ingredients drastically shortens the total cooking time.

The exact cooking times will vary based on the noodles and brands, so keep an eye on them. If you are unsure, make them separately and add  precooked noodles, then add to the veggies and sauces. See recipe notes for that method.
