Monsoon Pasta Recipe Ideas For The Enthusiast In You There is so much about the land of India that fascinates people from all over the world, but the most fascinating part of the country is the wide variety of seasons that we see. And the fact that we have a rainy season of our own that arrives every year like clockwork is the best part about living in India. The monsoons are a delight not just because of the rains, but because of the breeze and the cool weather that makes snacking by the window a delight. And the best delicacy that you can munch on when it is raining outside is definitely pasta. Why? Because it is delicious, it is warm, and it is the best comfort food. Making a good pasta recipe takes less than 30 minutes if you have the right ingredients and the intent to cook it, which is nothing compared to how long a nice bout of rainfall can last. But what types of pasta recipes fit the mood of the rains? Here is a quick look at some of the best possible recipe ideas from the cookbook of the top 10 pasta brands in India for the monsoon season. Try and whip them up for your next weekend at home with a rainy day snack. Monsoon Pasta Recipe Ideas: Pasta For A Rainy Day ●Penne With Spinach
Green veggies are probably the most easily recognisable additions to most of our monsoon. Spinach is one such green vegetable that we love, and can be used in making the best type of Penne Pasta recipe. You will be using the spinach to create the familiar nutty flavoured green Pesto sauce and rolling your penne pasta in it. The ridged and hollow pasta will immediately capture the flavour and the bulk of the sauce so you can feel its deliciousness in every bite. ●Curry Noodle Soup Flavours are the most important part of any cuisine, and the Indian curry is loved for its myriad flavours. Taking an Indian twist to the famous noodle soup, this Curry version uses red curry paste with coconut oil, garlic, ginger, vegetable broth, agave, noodles, cottage cheese, broccoli, bell pepper, and lime juice. You can feel the creamy and warm flavours in every spoonful. ●White Cheddar Mac and Cheese Mac and Cheese, the saviour of a lot of hungry tummies in the world, can be that hot bowl full of goodness that your life really needs on a rainy afternoon or a rainy weekend night. You can make this with butter, all-purpose flour, onion powder, ground chipotle pepper, milk, and cheddar cheese. All you now need is some great rain music and you are guaranteed to have a great time. ●Pasta Fritters (Pasta Pakora) We live in India and if we can’t think of Pakoras in the monsoons, we may have our snack priorities all wrong. You can make pakoras with Pasta and in very simple steps. All you need is onion juliennes, ginger garlic paste, salt, chilli powder, coriander leaves, cumin powder, and obviously, boiled macaroni. Mix in gram flour with some water and start frying it in any shape you like. ●Red Sauce Spaghetti Rains remind us of comfort, and comfort reminds us of Spaghetti. We don’t know the connection, but we do know that we need spaghetti in our lives and that too with a thick sauce. So next time it starts to rain and you have spaghetti in your kitchen, prepare a sauce using tomatoes, onions, garlic, red pepper, basil, and parmesan cheese, and roll your noodles in this delicious mix. ●Fettuccine Alfredo
The most popular variety of noodles in the world, this creamy and zesty Alfredo Fettuccine is a grand recipe that you must learn and make when you have to treat yourself. Think of a long week of work and then it rains on Saturday, so you sit on your balcony with a plate full of this delicacy. All it takes is heavy cream, lemon juice and zest, butter, parmesan cheese, white pepper, and some nutmeg. ●Vegetable Garden Pasta And then, for all the lovers of rain who still wish to be health-conscious, there is the vegetable garden pasta recipe. It starts with ripe tomatoes, garlic, avocado oil, Zucchini, yellow squash, corn, fresh basil, and ends up with more veggies than pasta, but eventually
creating a balanced eating experience. A mouthful of flavours, juices, and the wholesomeness of pasta welcomes you with this recipe. Monsoon is a season that teaches us, self-love, through the caring breeze and the pouring drizzle, and we respond back by stopping for a while and enjoying it all. Let pasta be a great companion for you on your way as you spend a great time with the rains.
