One Pot Veg Pasta Meal

Have you ever experienced days when you get bored of eating dal, roti, sabzi and wished someone called you over for lunch or dinner..Well I was dreaming about it for a while...

I had to make lunch for just me and my daughter that day... so wanted to make something which was quick, simple and yes of course tasty.  We were bored of eating the usual stuff...

I planned to make a one pot Veg Pasta meal which was simpler... what I had to do was chop the veggies and throw in all of the ingredients into one pot with pasta and the spices.

In this style of cooking, I have not precooked the pasta and you also have less mess in the kitchen to clear up. Try them out for your next potluck party or on a lazy afternoon or evening. I guarantee no one will guess that the ingredients were all cooked together in the same pot :)

We both had a hearty meal and binged on some yummy Kalakand after lunch that I made in the morning!

So without wasting much time, jot down this menu and yes do try this out in your Kitchen... Do not forget to pin it, post it or share it with your friends!
