Vermicelli Arrabbiata

Ok this is not a new story, but most of the time I feel super lazy to cook  when I have to cook just for myself. Yes, I know almost all of us do, but  this is when our “Jugaaru” mind (is there an English word for that, let me know in the comments below) comes into picture and we end up creating something interesting. This is what happened today and I named it Vermicelli Arrabbiata!!!

Hello Readers, So winters are here and I don’t know what happens, but my hands, feet, whole body feels numb in this season, I definitely don’t like winters : ) and people love it, I just wonder why??? Now to make for this I obviously will have to do what I just love, Cooking Yup!!!

I made this Chicken Mince Lasagna from scratch at home, it goes a bit lengthy, but definitely worth it!!! (Sorry for not posting the step by step tutorial)

Vegetarian Pasta Bolognese

This was my first attempt to cook Pasta Bolognese and the result was quite descent… except for the colour mine had a reddish colour where as I have seen brown coloured Pasta Bolognese in pics… may be I had added more tomatoes but still it tasted gud to me.. If you want you can reduce the quantity of tomatoes in yours..

Also I substituted minced meat with soya granules to make it vegetarian….

This quantity will serve 1-2 ppl…
