Veggie delight Rotini Pasta (Low fat)




This recipe can be used with any type of pasta with your choice of vegetables.
This is my pairing.

Rotini Pasta - 2 cups or any pasta of your choice
spinach - a bunch chopped [or any dark leafy vegetable]
carrot - 2 or 3 sliced
onion - 1 small finely chopped
tomato - 1 finely chopped
green chilli - 1 finely chopped


Yoghurt - 1 cup
mayonnaise - 2 tbsp
pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
some fresh or dried parsley leaves and oregano
garam masala - 1 tsp
salt to taste

Cook pasta in boiling water with salt. Drain and keep. Reserve some cooked pasta water.
In a pan saute carrot with a tsp of oil until cooked. Take it out.
To the same pan add chopped spinach and saute . Add little turmeric powder and salt. When done remove from heat.
Now mix together yoghurt,mayo,pepper powder, parsley,oregano,garam masala and salt. Add a little more salt than what u think is needed for that much sauce.
Now add the cooked vegetables to the pasta, followed by freshly chopped onion,tomato and greenchilli.
Then add the sauce mixture. Mix everything well and warm it through.
Done.
