Equipment

  • Deep Pot
  • Pan
  • Colander

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup bow tie pasta
  • 1 small carrot chopped finely
  • 1/2 small capsicum chopped finely
  • 1 big onion chopped finely
  • 1 tablespoon pasta sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly crushed pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon mixed herbs
  • 3/4 to 1 cup water
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon jeera (cumin seeds) for tempering
  • 2 teaspoons crushed garlic for tempering
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil for tempering
  • 1 tablespoon butter for tempering

Instructions
 

  • Boil water in a deep pot, add salt, and cook bow tie pasta until al dente (about 8 to 10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  • In a pan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add jeera and let it crackle. Then add crushed garlic and sauté for 2 minutes until golden.
  • Add chopped onions and cook until translucent. Then toss in chopped carrot and capsicum; sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly tender.
  • Add pasta sauce and mix well. Pour in 3/4 cup water and simmer, covered, for a few minutes to allow the vegetables to absorb flavors.
  • Once the vegetables are cooked and the sauce thickens, stir in crushed pepper, mixed herbs, and salt to taste.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss gently to coat the pasta with the sauce. Serve hot.
