So, you will need some pasta, obviously. I had this tri-colored pasta with me , so I used that. You can use any kind of pasta for this recipe.
You can add a lot of veggies in this pasta recipe. I have used sweet corn and mushrooms.
And, last but not the least, you will need pasta sauce for this recipe. Now, this recipe doesn’t require you to prepare a pasta sauce for the pasta. We will use ready made pasta sauce in this recipe. That’s why, it is a quick recipe. If you want , you can easily replace ready made pasta sauce with an exact amount of homemade pasta sauce.
Nowadays we even get wheat pasta. So if you don’t want to cook maida (all purpose flour) pasta, simply replace it with wheat pasta.
I was a bit skeptical about using this sauce as I thought this won’t have a good taste. But I was wrong. The pasta prepared using this sauce tastes really good.
I kept this pasta simple. I only added two veggies in this recipe – Sweet Corn and Mushrooms.
So you can also call this recipe Sweet Corn and Mushroom Pasta.
Another important ingredient in this recipe is mixed herbs. Mixed herbs is a combination of some Italian Seasoning like oregano, rosemary, chili flakes etc.
Mixed herbs give an authentic Italian taste to your pastas and pizzas. Thus if you want to cook pizza or pasta at home, definitely buy it.
