There’s always enough room for pasta

White sauce pasta is one of my favourite dishes. Generally, we have it as our Saturday dinner. We have a simple and quick way of making it. Essentially, three things need to be done (in parallel if you like) and then brought together in the end. -Adrika Srivastava II C

Directions:

Step #1: Preparing the different components [All three below can be done in parallel]

A: Preparing the pasta

Boil water, and add a pinch of salt and olive oil. Add the pasta into it and cook for 12-15 mins Salt and Olive oil prevent pasta from sticking. 14-15 mins of boiling is just enough to keep the pasta soft yet firm. Longer boiling makes it too soft. Drain out the water and let the pasta stay in the strainer.

B: Stir fry of veggies

Take stir fry size pieces of carrot, broccoli, beans etc (whatever you like in your pasta) and stir fry them in Olive oil or butter.

C: Making the sauce

ADRIKA'S DELICIOUS PASTA

Ingredients:

Pasta

Olive oil

Vegetables like carrot, broccoli, beans etc Butter Cheese

Whipped cooking cream and/or thick milk

Condiments (Oregano, Chili Pepper flakes and Black Pepper powder)

Salt

This is easier than it sounds. Just throw in a generous amount of butter, cheese (we like mozzarella the most), whipped cooking cream and/or thick milk. Keep stirring and when it looks creamy and cooked, add some condiments (Oregano, a tinge of Chili Pepper flakes and a hint of black pepper powder). Generally, we save the Oregano and chili flakes condiments that come with our Pizza orders and use them there. Wait for at least 510 mins to let the sauce cool down a bit.

Step #2: Bringing them all together Just mix them all up and add salt to taste. That’s all:-)

A SPECIAL TIP ...

Incorporate more vegetables into a favourite dish. Veggies are important sources of many nutrients, including potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin A, and vitamin C

A SPECIAL TIP

...

Different vegetables and fruits can help protect the body in different ways, so choose a variety of colours every day.

An egg in anything makes it better…

Directions:

1. Eggs are good for your eyes. They contain lutein which prevents cataracts and muscle degeneration.

2. An egg shell can have as many as 17,000 pores.

3. Egg shell and yolk colour can vary but have no effect on taste or quality. Commercial eggs are brown or white, but some breeds can also lay blue, green, or pink eggs.

4. Egg yolks are one of the few foods that naturally contain Vitamin D.

5. If you drop an egg on the floor, sprinkle it heavily with salt for easy clean up.

6. Eggs age more in one day at room temperature than in one week in the refrigerator.

A SPECIAL TIP ...

KIAN'S HEALTHY BANANA BREAD

"What I love about the recipe:

Normal Ingredients – No artificial sweeteners or anything out of the ordinary here. Use basic pantry ingredients you already have. Healthy – No oil, low sugar, FOUR bananas, and around 100 calories per slice!

Tastes Amazing – When baked goods are labeled 'healthy' they often don’t taste great, but no one would ever guess that this banana bread is any different! It is still just as moist, sweet, and scrumptious as traditional banana bread!"

1.Grease a standard 9×5” loaf pan (line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper to make sure the loaf doesn’t stick).

2.Mash bananas in a mixing bowl. Add egg, vanilla, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon and stir well to combine.

3.Stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Add to banana mixture and stir to combine. Stir in melted butter.

4.Bake at 350 degrees F for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean

5.Cool in the pan for 5-10 few minutes before inverting onto a wire cooling rack.
