Macaroni is something my brother and I have loved since childhood days. Every time I prepare this, it takes me back to my kiddie days where we came back from school and mom served us a yummy delicious plate full of macaroni. Those days it was not something fancy, yet mom’s magic was something that added so much of goodness that made even a simple dish so delicious.
It was to come back from school to get a surprise from mum with some amazing evening snacks she’s prepared for us, and if it was Macaroni, we would endlessly munch on it sharing with her our stories about our day at school.
I call it Fusion Macaroni simply because I use all possible veggies that are stocked up in the fridge and even those few bits that are left over. More the merrier for me as it helps to restock a fresh batch of veggies. One can use any veggies of choice that you have available at home.
Pasta Macaroni for me should be a perfect blend of all spices and sauces combined with all exotic vegetables. Not too saucy, yet not too dry. A combination of tomato paste and some cooking creme does all the magic.
One can enjoy them for evening snacks and/or over lunch or dinner. It’s the best all the time!! If you and your kids are a Macaroni Lover, I’m sure you are going to love this recipe.
