Patriotic Pasta

Pasta is a very simple dish to make. I personally prefer tricolor rotini (see above). I also like to add peas, and top it off with pasta sauce and parmesan cheese. Pretty simple, but pretty filling as well. Why patriotic, you ask? Well, orange, white, and green are India's national colors.

Ingredients (for one serving):

• 3/4 cup of tricolor rotini
• 1/2 cup of frozen green peas
• 1 tsp of salt
• 3 cups of water
• Pasta sauce
• Parmesan cheese
  

Directions:

1. Add salt to water and let it boil. Set stove to half of maximum heat.
   
2. Once boiling, add pasta and peas.
3. The pasta will start boiling in 2-3 minutes.
   
4. Once it starts boiling, set timer to 10 minutes.
5. After 10 minutes, drain the water from the pasta and turn off the stove.
   
6. You can garnish the pasta with pasta sauce and parmesan cheese as you like.
   

Bon appetit!
