Introduction:
"Pasta"...just listen this word and you feel yourself roaming in the streets of italy.Today i'm gonna tell you a really special party pasta made up by macaronies, lots of veggies and cheese. This is the best dish for your late night parties. No need to order and wait long for the hotel food in your party. Just enjoy the delicious delicacy at your home. You will find this is an easy to make yet party dish. I have tried to make it in a quick manner by cooking it in pressure cooker.

Water: 5 cups
Onions: 1 cup(chopped)
Cabbage: 1.5 cup(grated)
Green Capsicum: 1 cup(chopped)

Preparation time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 10 mins

Method:
Prepare all the vegetables as directed in the ingredients. Heat oil in the pressure cooker. Add onions, ginger garlic paste, capsicum and carrots into it. Stir fry for 1 min. Add cabbage, corns & mushrooms into it and cook for 2 mins. Stirr in between Now add all the spices into it and mix well. Add tomatoes.Mix well and cook till the tomatoes get mushy.Add the red chilli sauce and tomato ketchup. Mix it. Now add macaronies into it and water. Mix all the ingredients well. Cover the lid of cooker without whistle. Cook on high flame till the steam starts coming out from the nozzle. Now sim the gas and cook for 5-6 mins. Put off the flame and open the lid. Check whether macaronies are cooked properly. If not, then cook for another minute with open lid. Add grated cheese over the hot pasta. Serve hot by garnishing with cheese and 1 tsp of cream.

TIPS:
1. You can adjust the vegetables according to your taste.
2. You can make it more spicy by adding green chillies into it.
3. Add chopped garlic, if you like the taste of garlic too much.
4. I have made this recipe with macaronies. It will do well with any kind of pasta. Just replace the macaronies with that pasta.
5. Ratio of macaroni to water is 1: 1.5. Use accordingly.
6. Add cheese just before eating it and in hot mode. Otherwise it will get very sticky.
