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!!!

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…
INGREDIENTS:-
Penne Pasta: 1 Cup (uncooked) Soya Granules: 3/4 Cup Olive Oil: 1-2 Tbsp Garlic: 2 Cloves Chopped Onion: 1 Small Chopped *Capsicum: 1 Small Chopped | Tomatoes: 2 Small pureed Mixed Herbs: 2 Tbsp Salt: to taste Pepper: 1/4 tsp Red Chilly Powder: to taste Water: 1/4 Cup8 |
*I was running short of capsicum so didn’t add but one should add it to enhance the taste.
METHOD:-
- Soak soya granules in water till soft.
- Boil pasta in salted water till Al-Dante, apply some oil and keep aside .
- Heat oil in a pan add garlic & onion fry for 2 mins.
- Drain soya granules squeeze out the water nicely add to the onions, add chopped capsicum & fry till they turn brown.
- Add mixed herbs, spices, tomato puree & 1/4 cup water.
- Cook on moderate heat till oil separates.
- Add boiled pasta, mix well with the sauce and cook in slow flame for 1 min.
- Transfer this to serving plate, top it with grated cheese & serve hot…
