Spicy pasta


Hello ! It's been quiet some time since I last blogged but I am hoping to get back into the game.
I made this delicious "desi" style pasta. It was packed with flavor and very tasty. A perfect meal to throw together when you're not sure what to make! 

You will need:

Pasta of any kind  ( I used Rotini pasta)
Ground beef
Caramelized onions
Spices: tumeric, red chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, salt and pepper
Cheese
Black olives 
Pasta sauce

1) Boil pasta according to package instruction


2) In the mean time cut an onion and caramelize in oil


3) Add ground beef once onions are golden brown and add all the spices mentioned above  ( add more or less depending on how spicy you like it ). Add pasta sauce at the end and let simmer for 10 minutes.


4) Drain pasta and add 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt into the pasta.

 

5) Add the beef mixture, olives to the pasta.



6) Add cheese ( I added mozzarella and pepper jack ) . I didn't add too much cheese but you can add more if you like ! 


Last step bake in the microwave till the cheese melts. Garnish with chopped coriander and parsley. This turned out so delicious and I loved the mixture of desi and western flavors !
