Description
A very simple dish that is not only hugely filling but also a sure kid-pleaser!
Ingredients
- Farfalle (Bowties) - 2 cups (480 ml) of dried butterfly shaped pasta
- Olive Oil - 3 to 4 tbsp (45 to 60 ml)
- Garlic - 5 large pods (chopped)
- Green pepper (small) - 1 diced into small cubes
- Tomatoes (small) - 2 (cubed)
- Sweet Corn (cooked) - 1/2 cup (120 ml)
- Capers - a fistful
- Italian Seasoning - a very generous sprinkle ( about 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp / 22 to 30 ml)
- Fresh Cream - about 1 to 1 1/2 cups (250 to 300 ml)
- Salt & Pepper - to taste
- Water - as required (retained from the cooked pasta)
- Grated Cheese - as required
Instructions
- Cook pasta as per instructions in the pack. Make sure it is al dente (firm to the bite)
- Heat the olive oil and add garlic. Saute it for a few seconds.
- Tip in the pepper and tomatoes and saute for a 2-3 minutes. Add the sweet corn, capers, the seasoning, cream, salt & pepper. Cook it for 5 minutes or a little less.
- Add the starchy water retained while draining the cooked pasta (as required) if the mix becomes too thick.
- Dunk the farfalle and cook for a minute or two until the pasta is totally coated with the sauce.
- Remove from flame and generously grate the cheese all over.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- You can add veggies of your choice like asparagus or broccoli.
- Be sure to retain some water from the cooked pasta.
- This starchy liquid will add to the texture of the dish and lighten if the creamy mix becomes too thick.
