Mushroom Broccoli Bow-Tie Pasta

I always love to experiment in my kitchen.  I had broccoli and mushrooms in my fridge and decided to make pasta with broccoli and mushrooms. I didn’t use any sauce while making this pasta so it looks a bit dull but it turned out great since my kids loved it … Enjoy it!

In a wide pan, boil 10 cups of water, 1 tsp of salt & oil.

When the water starts boiling, Put the pasta into the boiling water. Cook for 10-12 minutes, be sure that the pasta is firm

Immediately put the pasta under cold water. Drain it again and keep aside. Give the pasta a little shake so they don’t get stuck together.

Cut the broccoli into small bite sized florets. 

Again take 1 cup water in a pan

Bring water to boil and add the broccoli florets and steam for a few minutes, they should be crunchy. Keep aside.

In a pan dry roast nuts and pistachios until crispy. Grind it into a coarse powder.

Note
