Pasta in Pesto Sauce




Pasta in Pesto Sauce 
Recipe: Sanjay Hingorani

Ingredients:

2 Cups Pasta boiled (al dente)
Capsicum cubed
Mushrooms
Broccoli
Carrots cut small boiled
2 tbsp AP Flour (Maida)
3 tbsp Butter
1 Cup milk
Red chilli flakes
Oregano powder / Italian mixed herbs

Pesto Sauce:
1 cup Coriander leaves
1 cup Mint leaves
1 cup Basil leaves
1 cup Peanuts toasted
5-6 Cloves Garlic chopped
Olive oil
Salt n Pepper
Blend into paste.

Note: this will make extra sauce. So use as much as you want and keep the rest for salads etc. I like my pasta soupy.

Method:

Heat butter and mix the maida, keep stirring to avoid lumps, before the mix becomes tough add 2 cups water and 1 cup milk. Add the pesto sauce. Add the herbs. Add the veggies. Mix the pasta in the end so they don't over cook in the sauce. Done.

Garnish with some more flakes. I sprinkled some parmesan cheese.
Goes well with some toasted garlic bread with cheese on.

Eat, Enjoy, Repeat !

Cheers 
Sanjay
