Whole Wheat Pasta in Tomato Sauce

According to a data point in the internet, 1 cup of whole wheat pasta has 85 g of calcium in it. When we add vegetables, tomato and onions to the pasta, the health value increases to a greater level. This will be good news for mothers and kids who love pasta too. On to the recipe.


Ingredients

Whole wheat paste - 2 cups
Tomato sauce - 2 tbsp
Capsicum - 1 cup
Tomato - 1 cup
Onion - 1 cup
Cheese - 2 slices
Salt - to taste
Oregano - to taste
Olive Oil - 1 tbsp



Method 

Boil the paste to Al dente and set aside
Cut the capsicum, tomato and onions into thin strips 
In a pan heat olive oil and add the cut veggies
Saute till they are somewhat half done.
We do not want them to get mushy but be tender crisp
Now add the boiled pasta followed by tomato sauce
Adjust salt and when it is done, remove from fire
Sprinkle the oregano and grate the cheese over the cooked pasta.
Put it in the microwave for a minute and then serve hot
