Steps How to Perfectly Boil Pasta

The first step towards perfectly boiling a pasta starts with a good choice of container. Always pick a large pot that has enough room for the pasta to move around.

After choosing a large pot, load up the pot with lots of water in it. The water should be to a point that the pasta can totally submerge in it.

Now, comes the salt. Salt is the key ingredient here after pasta of course! :p While adding salt make sure you are adding a tablespoon of it. Yes, a tablespoon of salt will not only help in perfectly boiling the pasta but will also give the pasta a flavor boost.

When it is time to add the pasta do not add them when the water is merely simmering, let the water boil and then add pasta in it.

Always stir the pot at least 3-4 times while cooking the pasta.

Always check if the pasta is perfectly boiled by fishing out a pasta and gently pressing it with your thumb and forefinger. Let the pasta be slightly chewy otherwise, the pasta will turn mushy.

Once the pasta is cooked to your liking, take two seconds and before you drain the water, save a single cup of it. This starchy water will help bind the sauce and pasta together and give your pasta a great flavor.

Steps on How to Make Macaroni Masala

The process of making cheese macaroni first starts with perfectly boiling the pasta (you can choose whatever pasta you feel like be it Macaroni or Rigati).

When the pasta is perfectly boiled and you have discarded the pasta water while saving ¼ cup for cooking the recipe go ahead and grab a pan.

Now, heat the pan and pour 2 tablespoons of oil in it. After that take 2 tablespoons of peanuts and add them in the pan. We will roast the peanut for 2 minutes and when they are perfectly roast, take them out of the pan and keep them in a small bowl. These roasted peanuts will be used later in the recipe.

It is time to proceed with the recipe by adding ¼ cup of sliced onion in the pan. I love how the color of the onion changes to translucent. We will do the same here by sautéing the onion until its color changes to beautiful translucent/ golden brown.

While you are sautéing the sliced onion add 1 teaspoon Green Chilli and Ginger Paste in it.

Now, add ½ cup chopped tomatoes and cabbage in the pan. After that add ¼ cup of peas and capsicum respectively. Saute all the veggies until they are soft.

When all the veggies are soft we will add 5-6 baby potatoes in the pan and cook all of them for another 2-3 minutes.

After 2 minutes we will add salt to taste and the spices in the pan. With spices I mean 1 teaspoon of red chili powder and 2 tablespoons of tomato chili sauce in the pan.

We will cook all the spices for 2 minutes in the slow heat and then add cooked macaroni in the pan. (You can use your favorite pasta here, I personally love macaroni)

We will let the macaroni cook in the pan for 2 minutes and then add the roasted peanuts (which we roasted earlier n the recipe) and then mix all the ingredients well.
