Zatpat Vegetable Pasta

There's something about Pasta that makes it a anytime favorite food - Yes, the ease to prepare it, and the vast variety of sauces that one can conjure to make any Pasta recipe a different-than-last-time one. Not to mention that its a hit with kids and parents alike! But what I like about it is the fact that I can easily sneak in some healthy ingredients into the sauce or the recipe. When I make pasta just for me and my hubby, I try to make it healthy by adding as much vegetables as I can, and by using wheat pasta.

For this you need:-

250gms Pasta of any shape ( I used Penne) 
2 medium sized Onions finely chopped
1 cup of Tomato Ketchup
Chopped & par-boiled Vegetable(Corns, carrot, frenchbeans, peas, caulifower)
1/4 Capsicum finely chopped
1 tsp.finely chopped Garlic
2 tsp. Red chilli powder
Salt as per taste
1 tbsp.Butter
1/2 cup Processed / Mozerella cheese
2 tbsp. Oil
1 teaspoon of Oregano  leaves(dry)(optional)
1 teaspoon of Basil leaves(dry)(optional)
1 tsp. Black Pepper Powder

1. In a boiling water add salt & oil. Boil pasta for about 5-10 min. till it becomes soft.  Drain in a seive and pass it through cold running water. Apply little oil on it so that they do not stick with each other.
2. In a frying pan take butter, add onions and gralic; saute till translucent.
3. Now one by one add vegetable ( Carrots, Peas, Cauliflower, French Beans, Corns).  Add capsicum saute for a minute or two.
4. Add tomato ketchup, salt, pepper powder and then Pasta. Saute for few seconds. You can also add Oregano and Basil leaves at this time.
5. Lastly grate cheese over it & cook on slowe flame for about 2 min.keeping it covered so that the cheese melts. The Yummy and delicious Zatpat Pasta is ready.
