Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Pasta any short pasta type of your choice
  • 6 cloves Garlic small size, finely chopped
  • 1 Onion large, sliced
  • ¼ cup Sweet corn kernels
  • ½ cup Bell pepper Mix of red, yellow and green, sliced
  • ¼ cup Chicken sausages chopped (optional)
  • 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Tomato sauce
  • To taste Salt
  • 2 tbsp Cheddar cheese shredded
Taco Spice Mix
  • ½ tsp Red chili powder
  • ½ tsp Corinader powder
  • ½ tsp Smoked paprika powder
  • ½ tsp Roasted cumin powder
  • 1 tsp Dried herbs

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan, add the chopped garlic and cook on medium heat until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the sliced onions to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onions turn pink.
  3. Now add the sausages, corn and bell pepper one at a time, sauteeing on medium heat for 2 minutes each.
  4. In a bowl, mix the cumin powder, coriander powder, herbs, red chili powder and paprika. This essentially becomes for taco mix. But you can also use a pre-mix if you prefer. Add this to the cooking vegetables and mix well.
  5. Add the pasta and the sauce to the pan and toss well.
  6. Cover with water, mix well and bring to a boil. Cover and cook on medium-low heat for 7-8 minutes.
  7. Mix the boiling pasta and add the cheese and season with salt. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes, or until your pasta is cooked and has come together. The only drawback to one pot pasta dishes is that they take longer than usual to cook, but believe you me, the texture is worth the wait.
