Farfalle with Stir Fried Veggies

Hello friends,.,., tonight's dinner is a quite quick dish thats pasta boiled and tossed with stir fried vegetables. For this we can also use penne, spaghetti, fettuccine, elbow macaroni, conchiglie (shell shaped pasta), rotini (spirals) etc.

Ingredients

500 gm pasta
2 medium yellow bell peppers, diced
2 medium red bell peppers, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, again diced
30-40 gms olives
100 gm mushrooms
few pieces of broccoli
salt
1/4 tsp crushed peppercorns
1/4 tsp dry oregano
pinch of red chilli flakes
2 tbsp olive oil


how how howwwwwwwwww

1. Boil the pasta in salted water, drain out liquid and rinse with cold water and set aside.
2. heat some olive oil in a pan and quick fry the mushrooms and broccoli upto half done.
3. add little bit salt and pepper, add bell peppers and olives. cook for some minutes and keep tossing in between.
4. add pasta and toss again, sprinkle some oregano and red chilli flakes on top.


This way of cooking pasta is quite healthier than the ones we have with sauces, plus you can increase or reduce the quantity of veggies, even meatballs or any sort of cooked/grilled chicken chunks can be added.
