Rainbow veggie pasta in marie rose sauce

I have been playing around with fusion dishes lately..one pan fusion rice dishes are a no-brainer, for sure!
But fusion pastas are a bit trickier! And how about making it a bit more fancy buy pairing it with a sauce which was till now used widely as cocktail sauce only???? I made a combo of rainbow veggie pasta and marie rose sauce..and it was a trip to food heaven and back! Well..this pairing is like Richard gear and julia Roberts to me! Such a chemistry!
AHHHHH.....This pasta! One pan, ten minutes, hot and creamy sauce and a veggie fest equals a very happy tummy !
I generally thought comfort food has to be cheesy and loaded with carbs! But this pasta is basically the definition of comfort food. Easy ,creamy and light! The three things are good for the soul!
This recipe can serve two people and goes well with a good wine.
Som lets get started!!
Tips before we dig into the recipe
. I used whole wheat spiraelli here. You can use any pasta of your choice. I basically feel that concheglli and spiraelli hold the sauce in.
. You would want to make some additional sauce and keep it aside if you are planning to serve this dish sometime after cooking, as the pasta dries up the sauce.
. And as any cook says, take ur pasta out AL DANTE !
. I have used thyme as my pasta seasoning, if you dont get thyme,don't worry! You can always use oregano or any pizza seasoning , but just a pinch!

Steps
- 1
For marie rose - Combine all ingredients. Take a good old wooden spoon WHISK,WHISK and WHISK...
- 2
To boiling water, add salt and pasta. Let it boil for 10mins, or till the pasta is al dante (semi cooked). Drain and pour cold water into the pasta so that it wont stick together (works all the time!) drain again and place it aside.
- 3
Add butter into a skillet, once it melts, add chopped garlic and thyme into it. One the butter is infused with garlic and thyme, add all the chopped vegetables and sauté.
- 4
Add a pinch of salt to help the veggies cook fast. Close the lid and keep the flame on medium low, and let it cook for 5 mins. Once the veggies are nice and tender (we dont want to get them mushy), add milk and adjust salt.
- 5
When the milk starts bubbling, add the drained pasta and mix well. Let atleast 2/3rd of the milk get soaked into pasta, we will leave the rest to incorporate with the sauce and keep the pasta creamy.
- 6
Once the milk has reduced to 1/3rd, add the marie rose sauce, after turning the flame off.
- 7
Mix well and garnish with any bright coloured microgreens, i used red amaranthus microgreens.
