Creamy Shell Pasta

This creamy shell pasta is very easy to make and sure will be a delight for kids. The sweet pepper and black olive combination makes this pasta quite a feast to eyes, while the creamy sauce makes it melt in your mouth.. Abhi and Anvi enjoyed every bit of this when I made this.. Try it for your kiddos, Here is the recipe, Enjoy!
Creamy Shell Pasta
Ingredients:
Shell Pasta - 1 small packet ( 200 g) ( Bombino)
Red Bell Pepper - 1/2 medium
Yellow Bell Pepper - 1/2 medium
Black Olives - 1/3 cup ( from can)
Olive Oil - 1 Tbsp
Dry Basil - 1 tsp
salt - 1 tsp
Black Pepper - 1/2 tsp
Milk - 1/4 cup
Flour - 1 Tbsp
Mayonnaise - 1 Tbsp
Spring Onions - 1 Tbsp

Method:

  1. Cook Pasta according to the package direction and drain it and set aside.
  2. Heat the Nonstick-pan and Add oil.
  3. Once the oil is hot add chopped red and yellow bell pepper to the pan.
  4. Add salt, black pepper, dry basil and saute the vegetables.
  5. Now add the milk followed by flour to the pan. and mix it well until it becomes creamy.
  6. Add chopped Black olives and Cooked pasta to the vegetables and mix well. 
  7. Add Mayo and give a quick toss, so that the pasta gets coated evenly.
  8. Finally top with spring onions and switch off the heat. Ta Daa, you are done!


Serve hot! and Enjoy the Dinner with Family Tonight!


For Adults:
After serving to kids, I have added 1 tsp crushed red pepper to the pasta to add little spice for Big People. :-). I always save my Crushed Red Pepper packets that comes with Pizza. Those will come handy in these situations.



Notes:

  • I have used Bombino Brand Shell Pasta, you can use regular Shell pasta that you get in the stores.
  • Add 1 tsp olive oil after draining the pasta, to make it separate from each other.
  • My pasta got little overcooked today, so don't leave pasta on the stove and do chores, (learnt my lesson :-))


Have a Good Night you all!
