la pasta di senape


This one is a very simple & yet a very tasty preparation of pasta. If you are a pasta lover you'll appreciate it. Iam always attracted to traditional Italian cuisine & I try fusion. I have used farfelle in this one, but you can use any pasta that appeals to you. This measure is just a guideline. You can add or reduce it depending on your taste. For some of the ingredients i have not given a measure since it will vary with each individual. Buon Appetito!!

Let's get started:

Barilla Farfelle: 1 cup
Garlic: 4cloves, crushed
Onions: 2, medium, sliced
Grated Ginger: 1Tsp.
Tomatoes: 3, Pureed
Tomatoes: 2, Sliced
Rosemary, Thyme, Oregano: A pinch each
Kasundi Sauce (Mustard Sauce)
Teriyaki Sauce
Tabasco Sauce
Olives: 10, Sliced
Olive Oil
Salt to taste
Milk: To adjust the consitency
Parmesan Cheese: As desired
Chilly Flakes, Ground Pepper: As desired

Let's move on:

Place the pasta in a container & add 2cups of water, a pinch of salt & a dash of oil. Place it in pressure cooker & steam the pasta for 10 minutes on a high flame & then for about 8 minutes on medium flame. Once done, drain the water & transfer the pasta in a bowl containing chilled water. let it be for around 3 minutes. Drain & set aside.

In a heavy bottomed pan, add olive oil. Throw in the onions & saute for around five minutes. Add in ginger, salt & the sliced tomatoes. Cook till the tomatoes turn mushy. Add the tomato puree & cook on high flame for about 5-7 minutes. 

Add the mustard sauce, teriyaki sauce & saute for 2-3 minutes. Throw in the herbs & stir it once. Add half cup of milk, the cooked pasta & stir. Add a few dashes of tabasco sauce for that unique taste. Make sure that your sauce & the pasta are evenly mixed. Switch off the flame. Adjust the salt.

Here is the fun part!!

in a baking dish add half of the cooked pasta. Sprinkle ground pepper, half of the olives, chilly flakes & grate the cheese to cover the entire pasta. Now add the remaining pasta & repeat the same. Place it inside a pre heated oven till the cheese melts. 

If you prefer not to use the oven, you can cover the container with a foil, place it inside a cooker & steam it for 5-7 minutes on a high flame. Serve hot hot hot!! 

This one will tingle your taste buds for sure.

Meraviglioso Italia!!
