Main Equipment Used

Steps In Making

To boil the macaroni
  1. In a pan add water and bring it to a boil. Now add salt and macaroni and boil it on a medium flame for around 8- 10 minutes or until soft.
  2. To check if the macaroni is perfectly cooked, cut it with a knife and it will easily cut.
  3. Take a sieve/colander and rinse the excess water and now keep it aside.
For Macaroni Pasta
  1. Place a pan over medium flame and add oil and butter to it. Once it becomes hot, add garlic and green chillies and sauté for a minute.
  2. Now add onions and cook for 3-4 minutes or until light golden brown in colour.
  3. Add tomato puree and salt and mix well. Now cook for 3-4 minutes or until the tomatoes start to release oil from the sides.
  4. Now add tomato ketchup, pasta sauce, chilli flakes and oregano.
  5. Further, add some water and bring it to a boil.
  6. Now add red and yellow bell peppers, sweet corn and French beans. Sauté for a minute, do not overcook as we need the vegetables to maintain their crunch.
  7. Now add cheese cubes and a cheese slice and cook till the cheese melts completely. Add some water if needed.
  8. Now add the boiled macaroni and mix until it’s well coated with all the veggies and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  9. Lastly sprinkle some chilli flakes, Italian seasoning and fresh coriander.
  10. The cheesy masala macaroni is ready. Serve hot!
