Chifferi Rigati Pasta is very much similar to the Macaroni except that it has ridges on the surfaces. It is one more addition to the exclusively made luscious Artisanal Pasta dishes by me and shred on this wonderful platform. You are gonna love this. Not only is it a yummy variation, it's absolutely flavourful and aromatic too.
With Coriander Greens Pesto, this Pasta Chifferi would be a blast especially for all those Pasta lovers out there.
It's quite simple and easy as well. It's a great option for everyday meals, be it a proper Dinner or even a healthy Brunch on a weekend with the entire family. It's a perfect classic dish. I have thought of using Pesto with it and so just went about giving it an interesting innovative twist with the Coriander Greens Pesto which are the healthy Greens that can make this Pasta flavourful and also look so much more luscious and awesome.

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Boil water with little salt and oil. As soon as it's vigorously boiling, add chifferi pasta and cook until done. That's it. Drain and keep aside until use.
2

Now moving to the preparation of the creamy sauce, we need to gather all the ingredients. Heat some olive oil in a pot. Add the minced garlic and both the chopped onions. Saute until translucent. Now add in the pesto. Cook on a medium high heat for 2-3 minutes. Also add milk and mix well. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Also stir in a little of the cheese for a creamy cheesy sauce.
3

Finally add the pasta to the pot. Mix well. Cover and let it just heat up for about 4-5 minutes. Also add required amount of cheese too. Cook just until it melts. That's all. It's absolutely done. Garnish with basil or chopped parsley or coriander. Serve it piping hot right away.
4

Enjoy with your family and friends especially on Sundays and special holidays and occasions. Relish!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
