Here is a simple, healthy and very pizzzaishh recipe that I came up with, Interestingly it tastes a little bit chinese too. Hence the name ItalChi Macaroni :)
I love Italian herbs and I don't have the heart to throw the small left out packets of Oregano seasoning whenever I order a pizza for home delivery!
And believe me its really very healthy and yummy and takes very little time to cook!
Preparation time - 30 mins.
Ingredients (For 2 People) -
1. One big carrot
2. One-Two medium size onions
3. 10-12 beans
4. One medium size capsicum
5. One green chilly
6. A small portion of cabbage
7. One-two spoons oil
8. Salt to taste
9. 3 packets of Oregano seasoning
10. One packet chilly flakes
11. One spoon vinegar
12. Two spoon tomato ketchup
13. One cup macaroni
Remove the peel from onion and carrot, and wash the vegetables in running water. De-seed green chilly and capsicum. Now cut cabbage, onion, green chilly and capsicum into thin long slices. Mix them together.
Cut the carrot and beans in 1.5" long slices keeping the thickness of carrots same as that of beans and mix them together in a bowl.
Keep around 4 cups of water for boiling. Put some salt in the water as it boils. As the water starts boiling, pour around one cup of water in the bowl that contains carrots and beans. keep the bowl covered with a lid.
Add macaroni and half spoon (little) oil in rest of the water and keep it covered over low flame for about 5 mins. Once the macaroni becomes tender, you can drain the hot water out. Pour some cold water over it and drain the water out after some time. Keep the boiled macaroni aside.
Take a broad pan (Kadhai). Put 1 spoon oil into it, enough to grease the sides of the vessel properly. Heat the oil. Add sliced vegetables(Cabbage, green chilly, capsicum and onions) into it. Stir it well over high flame for about a minute such that the vegetables get a little roasted. Turn the flame low. Add some salt and cover the pan with a lid for about a minute. Remove the lid and cook until the onions turn slightly pink in color.
Drain hot water from carrots and beans. Add the drained carrots and beans to the pan. Mix them well. Cook for another five minutes. Stir the pan occassionally.
Add one spoon vinegar and salt to taste. Cook for another minute. Add boiled macroni in the pan, add chilly flakes and oregano seasoning. Add a spoon of ketchup. Cook for about two minutes.
Serve it hot. You can garnish it with some fresh lettuce and bell peppers.
Doesn't it look colorful and tempting? Try it and let me know how you find it?
