Step 3 Cook veggies in spices and mix with boiled macaroni:

After sauteing the vegetables, add tomato ketchup in it. Stir well and then add chilli powder, white pepper powder and salt in the wok. Stir once again and cook the veggies for 5-7 minutes. Finally, add boiled macaroni in the wok and cook for another 5 minutes. Transfer the prepared macaroni to a plate and garnish with grated cheese. Serve hot!

 

Important things while cooking :

 

·         While making macaroni at home, always cook it till al-dente. Which means half-cook it.

·         In order to stop it from over-cooking, turn off the pasta in just 10 minutes. Transfer in cold or chilled water, in order to prevent it from sticking together.

·         To add more color to your macaroni, use colorful veggies like corn, zucchini, bell, peppers and herbs in it. This will not only add color but make it flavorful as well.

Short Story about Macaroni:

    In 1274, the most famous of medieval travelers, the Venetian Marco Polo, embarked on a voyage of discovery to the unknown lands of the East. Twenty-four years later he returned to Venice with fabulous stories about exotic places that became the major source of information about the East during the Renaissance. Legend has it that among the marvelous things he encountered in China was macaroni and that he introduced it to Europe--but legend it is. The real story of macaroni is a complex one and, appropriately, as slippery as a wet noodle. The complicated story of macaroni--the generic term for all dried alimentary pastes cooked in broth or water, also called pasta or noodles--will be set out as an inquiry into the meaning, origin, and importance of this food, as well as of two other important products also made from hard wheat--couscous and hardtack.
