Pasta’s are of many types. There are above 25 varieties of pasta. Some of them are spaghetti, fusilli, penne rigate, farfalle, fettuccine, pappardelle, etc. The spice and tangy flavour of this recipe can be adjusted as per your taste buds demand. Pasta had became one of the favourite dish at my home. So, I usually go for white sauce pastas if I had penne or fusilli pasta with me. Since my stock was of spaghetti pasta, I had to go with red sauce version of recipe instead of white sauce pasta. I always prefer red sauce pasta recipe for spaghetti.

Recently, my mind was made to prepare something special for lunch. Actually I was in short of time. I just looked my kitchen shelves and there came borges spaghetti durum wheat pasta packet for my rescue. I had bought this spaghetti few days back.

I had opened the packet and boiled half portion of that packet in hot water. Half portion was enough and more to serve 4 persons. By the time my pasta was boiling, I started cooking my vegetable and chicken mix. You can chose any of your kids favorite vegetables to include in this recipe. I had taken carrot, beans and capsicum here. You can also go with broccoli, cabbage, mushroom, etc. I had also taken paneer cubes and shredded chicken for this recipe. The taste of chicken indulges into this pasta and it is amazingly delicious.

By adding vegetables, shredded chicken, paneer and sauces, my pasta had became too rich in flavor and taste. The amount of sauce can be decided as per your taste. Adding more tomato sauce makes your pasta tangy. And if you need to make it spicy, add extra chilli flakes. You can mix well everything and garnish with parsley. Take a pasta plate, transfer the prepared pasta and serve hot. Enjoy this delicious recipe from us in your home too !
