How to make Macaroni

Step 1 Chop all the vegetables and boil macaroni

To prepare this delicious dish, take a clean chopping board and chop all the vegetables after washing them. Keep aside the chopped vegetables. Now, boil macaroni in a deep bottomed pan on medium flame until soft.

Step 2 Tenderize the chopped veggies

Next, take a wok and put it over medium flame. Heat butter in it. Once the butter melts, add onions and capsicum to it and saute the vegetables in order to tenderize them.

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!

Tips

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 colour to your macaroni, use colourful veggies like corns, zucchini, bell peppers and herbs in it. This will not only add colours but make it flavourful as well.
