Creamy Red sauce pasta
Ingredients
Pasta
- 400 grams Pasta
- Tablespoon Olive oil
- Salt
Sauce
- 3 Tablespoon Oil
- 2 Onions finely chopped
- 3 Cloves Garlic minced
- 250 grams Mutton mince You can even substitute mutton mince with boneless chicken cubes
- 1/4 Teaspoon Turmeric
- 5 Tomatoes finely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon Chili flakes
- 2 Cubes/Tbsp Cream cheese
- 3 Slices Cheddar Cheese
- 1 Cup Mozarella
- 2 Tablespoon Coriander or Parsley For garnish
- 1 Tablespoon Oregano
- Salt
- 1 Broccoli I like to incorporate vegetables as much as possible in all my dishes. There are many alternatives to broccoli — mushrooms, capsicum, carrorts.
Instructions
- Bring water to boil in a large pan.
- Add some salt and pasta. Cook for 10-15minutes. Keep stirring occasionally.
- I am using the steam from pasta to cook broccoli.
- When the pasta is just tender in 10 minutes, drain water from pasta. Reserve quarter cup of starchy pasta water.
- By this time the broccoli would have been cooked. Remove it and keep aside.
- Add butter or olive oil to the boiled pasta. This prevents the pasta from sticking.
Sauce for pasta
- In a separate pan, heat 2 tablespoon oil. Saute onion, add garlic, chili flakes and mutton mince, turmeric powder. Cover and cook.
- When the mince is cooked, open the lid. Saute until all the water evaporates.
- Add chopped tomatoes and salt. Cook until tomatoes turn mushy.You can use tomato sauce instead of tomatoes.
- Add cream cheese, cheddar cheese and stir until they melt into the sauce. Switch off the flame.
- Pour in cooked pasta and broccoli in a large casserole, add prepared sauce and mix until combined.If the pasta is dry add some reserved starch water.
- Top it with shredded mozarella and sprinkle some oregano. Cover and bake for 5 minutes until cheese starts melting.
- Alternatively you can cover and cook on low heat for 5 minutes if baking is not an option.
- Sprinkle roughly chopped parsley/coriander over top. Serve hot.
