Mixed Pasta

One of my little one's favourite.She simply loves Pasta.So I try including everything to it to make it really nutritious and filling .

Ingredients

Pasta - 1 cup
Finely chopped vegetables(Potato,Brocoli,Carrot,Beans,Spinach,Mushroom ) - 1 cup altogether
Tomato - 1/2
Minced fish/chicken - 1/4 cup
Egg - 1
Salt - as required
Butter / oil - as required

Method

1. Boil pasta in water and salt for about 10 minutes in an open vessel.Drain the water and keep aside the cooked pasta.
2. Chop all vegetables in desired shapes and sizes( I prefer to cut everything into small square pieces) and cook this in little salt .
3. Cook chicken /fish with little salt and pepper powder and mince it.
4. Boil the egg and cut into small pieces or scramble the egg(the way your little one likes it)
5. Make puree out of the cut tomato pieces(Add litle water and cook the tomato pieces to make a puree).
6. Add little butter or oil in a hot non stick pan.Keep adding little pasta and mix it with little vegetables, fish/chicken, egg and tomato puree and continue mixing everything alternatively like this.
7. Add grated cheese(Parmesean cheese) on top of the hot pasta.


(If you are not adding chicken/fish , a little milk can be added to the vegetable/egg pasta.If you add milk the pasta will be more creamier and soft.Adding milk is not advisable if fish/chicken are used for certain health reasons.)
