Capsicum Spaghetti with Arrabiatta Sauce -Desi Mixed Italian Cuisine -Main Course

Hi friends )))))))))

As I have said earlier i love spaghetti and any base for that matter I would love to taste it . My husband also loves this and we have this during our weekends. I keep trying base sauces in spaghetti and I try to mix the sauces from various cuisines.So this spaghetti also came out like that only with a combination of capsicum family and Arrabbiata Sauce from Italian Cuisine. Capsicum flavour in spaghetti is really awesome and it is a vegetable which goes on well with any dish for that matter, Even In fried rice when it is topped at the end it enhances the whole dish. So I gave a try with the whole capsicum family with the spaghetti which really turned out very tasty.So you also try this and enjoy your flavoured spaghetti.

(You can refer my above post for this Arrabbiata Sauce)




Method:

1.)Cook your spaghetti and keep it aside.Make sure when you finish your capsicum and sauce your spaghetti should be hot. You can refer my previous posts about spaghetti to know the cooking.

2.)Now heat a pan and saute some olive oil in it .



3.)Now add the chopped onions and fry them till they turn pink.




4.)Add the chopped 3 coloured capsicum to this and fry them till they become soft.



5.)After the capsicum starts becoming little soft, add required salt.Remember while adding salt that you would add some salt in your spaghetti too.




6.)Now add the Arrabbiata sauce made at this stage.

DO NOT THINK THAT THE SAUCE COLOUR IS DIFFERENT HERE. I AM DIRECTLY DOING THE SAUCE HERE ITSELF.SO YOU CAN MAKE THE SAUCE SEPERATELY AND ADD .


7.)Now add oregano,mixed herbs and chilli flakes as said and mix well.



8.)Now add some tomato ketchup/sauce/puree to this at this stage. REMEMBER AS YOU WILL BE DOING THE SAUCE SEPERATELY, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THIS STEP. SO THIS STEP WILL BE INCLUDED IN ARRABBIATA SAUCE ITSELF. SINCE I AM DOING THE SAUCE DIRECTLY HERE ITSELF, I AM ADDING SOME PUREE AT THIS STAGE.



9.)Now allow the whole dish to boil so that all the ingredients will get blended well.




10.)Now the capsicum Arrabbiata sauce is ready and you can mix it with your hot cooked spaghetti.




Note:

1.)You can use white onions here for a better taste.

2.)Some cooking butter can be used or at the end you  can add some butter and toss the spaghetti.

3.)I have made the Arrabbiata Sauce directly so follow the instructions correctly to get the prefect dish.Do not get confused in the steps. 

4.)If you want you can add some corn kernels to this,mushroom or any complimenting ingredient to this dish.

5.)Use only olive oil to saute the capsicum.

Bon Appetit!!!!!!!!
