ECOTRAIN COOKING ON A BUDGET COMPETITION: NOODLES AND PASTA

Today i would show you how to made jollof pasta. I called it jollof pasta because the recipe is almost similar to that of jollof rice.

Pasta is made from grain and it's a very good source of energy. If you want to cook on a budget then this recipe is highly recommended because it saves you lots of time and highly economical.

       **INGREDIENTS**

For my jollof pasta I used the following ingredients:

1. Pasta : I cannot make one myself so I bought one from a supermarket.
2. Olive oil
3. fresh tomatoe
4. bell pepper
5. Salt
6. Curry powder
7. Onions
8. Stock cubes
9. Carrot
10. Green pepper
11. Ginger and garlic squeezed in fresh
    pineapple juice.

     **RECIPE**

• I start by dicing all my vegetables and this include carrot,green pepper,tomatoe, red pepper and Onions. I used just one tomatoe.

• Put your cooking pot on fire and add a
  olive oil into it. Allow it to pre-heat
  or few seconds.
• Add onion and turn with a spoon.

• • Add the diced fresh tomatoes and
    pepper. Turn with the spoon so they
    don't get burnt.

• Add stock cubes, curry powder and salt to taste

• Add the freshly squeezed ginger and garlic in fresh pineapple juice. This combination helps to boost the immune system.

• Add water , the quantity should be enough to cook the pasta and leave to boil.

• Add the pasta and mix thoroughly.

• Close the lid and leave to cook for ten minutes.

• Now add the remaining vegetables which is carrot and green pepper. Mix thoroughly. Allow to heat up for few seconds.
  

• Bring down the pot from the fire because your Pasta is now ready to be enjoyed.

• Serve in a plate and enjoy. I prefer my pasta with boiled eggs. So I boiled the eggs earlier before cooking the pasta.
