Tangy Spicy Farfalle Pasta

Italian Pasta is something that my hubby never liked much. But still I wanted to experiment with it and I am sure one fine day I will be able to make the best pasta. This time I experimented with Farfalle Pasta. Farfalle Italian means "Butterflies".


I got a packet of Delmonte Italian Treat and started off with whatever ingredients I had in my kitchen. Delmonte Italian Treat is something I found in the hypermarket while looking out for pasta. In this packet I got Delmonte Farfalle Pasta and Delmonte Arrabiata Pasta Sauce. Along with this I got Delmonte Pineapple Fruit Drink and Delmonte Four Seasons mixed fruit drinks.



My little daughter was very excited to see "Butterflies" getting cooked. This is something that she saw for the first time in her life :)
Yes I received a lot of compliments from my hubby. I was very happy when he said that the pasta has turned awesome. He said " this is the first time that your pasta has turned so great". Yes I cooked it with lot's of love and lot's and lot's of interest. 



Since my hubby loves spicy stuff, I made this pasta a bit spicy. Read below and do try out this awesome pasta recipe. This is specially targeted at the Indian readers and cooks who likes spicy stuff. 




Ingredients:
1/2 Packet Delmonte Farfalle pasta
2-3 tablespoon olive oil (preferably Delmonte Olive Oil)
1/2 Tomato chopped

1 tablespoon garlic and red chilly sauce
3 tablespoon Delmonte Pasta Arrabbiata Sauce / Delmonte Tomato sauce
1 tsp Pepper powder
1/4 tsp Cinnamon powder
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves

Followed by this add the garlic and red chilly sauce and mix.

  8. I came upon this blog after a mushroom search! Very interesting. :)
    I am part Italian but I am married to someone from India(we live in the US). A very creative and tasty sounding recipe. Usually we(well in my family) would just cook the pasta, heat and add sauce and the finishing touch is grated Parmesan or, my favorite for pasta, Romano grated cheese. Garlic bread on the side and maybe some more protein. I did have a more interesting pasta like yours once while I was visiting India. Anyway, nice blog! :)
