Cheese Pasta (Macaroni) Recipe

Hey everyone!
Hope you all are enjoying your weekends!

I am back with yet another recipe, that I made yesterday for an early dinner. I generally like tangy, spicy pasta the most, because it appeals to my taste buds. But for a change, I tried this cheese pasta and also added some basil leaves for the aroma.

Ingredients you'll need (for 1 serving) :

• Macaroni : about 70 g
• Olive Oil (for cooking and topping) : 1 + 1 tablespoon
• Salt, pepper, oregano : to taste
• Cheese : 3 tablespoon (grated)
• Basil leaves : 4-5 leaves
• Cream : I use 3 tablespoon of Amul low-fat fresh cream
• Capsicum : 1 medium (finely chopped)
• Spring Onion : 2-3 leaves (finely chopped)

Step-by-Step recipe :

1. Boil water in a bowl, add some salt and put in the macaroni.
2. Once the pasta is cooked, turn the heat off, drain off the hot water by running it under cold water.
3. Add a teaspoon oil and mix well. This will help in letting the pasta not stick to each other.
4. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan and add capsicum and spring onions. Add a little water and cook on medium flame till it gets softer.
5. Add in the low-fat cream and mix well.
6. Add salt, pepper and oregano and mix well.
7. Let the mixture cook for 2 minutes, then add some basil leaves and after you get the aroma of the basil, add in the grated cheese and macaroni.
8. Mix everything well, till the macaroni is completely coated and the sauce gets a little thick.
9. Turn the heat off, and garnish with some Grated cheese, oregano and basil leaves.
10. Finally, add a tablespoon of olive oil to enhance the aroma of the pasta.
