Silky Spaghetti

I hardly get to use spaghetti or pasta in my kitchen n that too when I don’t find other options for a quick cooking! I always enjoyed using my pack of spaghetti making chinese samosa or any sort of rice variety… ;) But yes, it’s healthy as I get either wheat or semolina based packet only :)

All you people must be knowing by now that I love mushrooms… I enjoy cooking any dish with mushrooms! Sauteed ones for breakfast, creamed for brunch, tandoori for dinner… Anything works :) In this spaghetti too, I have used two of my favorite ingredients… Mushrooms n Broccoli along with a super-duper parmesan cheese :) Try this out and I’m sure kids would love to have a plate or two… That’s what my personal experience says as I’m no less than a kid ;)

Serves: 2-3

INGREDIENTS:

½ pack Spaghetti (I used semolina based)
1 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
1 tbsp Olive Oil
2-3 Button Mushrooms
2-3 Broccoli Florets
Salt, to taste
¼ tsp Black Pepper Powder
Blanched Spinach & Rocket Leaves

STEPS TO FOLLOW:

1. Cook spaghetti in plenty of water until 90% done.
2. Drain excess water and rinse with tap water. Apply few drops of olive oil to keep them non-sticky.
3. Parboil broccoli florets and slice button mushrooms.
4. Heat olive oil in a pan and add mushrooms and broccoli. Saute it for a while.
5. Add cooked spaghetti along with spices and parmesan cheese. Toss it gently.
6. Arrange spinach and rocket leaves in serving plate and place spaghetti in center of the plate.
7. Garnish with parmesan cheese and serve hot!

SJ’s NOTE:

• Adding 2-3 tbsp of pasta sauce is not a bad idea though! :P
• Also, more vegetables can be added!!!
