I don't make pasta that much at home. So can't recommend you on the brand of the sauce.
Vegetables antee, you can use any vegetable you like. I like bell peppers and lots of onion in my pasta but you can also add asparagus, broccoli, spinach.
Herbs antee, basil baaguntadee and parsley also. Italians ee rendu herbs baaga use chestaaru. To Indianize it us can add cilantro/kothmir and use can green chilies too, to spice it up. Red chili flakes and back pepper powder use chestaaru, spice kosam. Use liberal amount garlic too.
Today I made pasta for lunch. I was not in a mood to eat rice so simple pasta cheskunna, without pasta sauce. Sauce badalu tomatoes vesa and used little bok choy as I was discarding it. Sharing it here, in case you are interested
Ingredients:
1/2 Rotini Pasta dry/uncooked
1-2 tbsp oil (nenu measure cheyaleedu.. appox.)
1/2 medium onion diced
2 tbsp. crushed garlic
2 green chilies (vinnavi kakunda, medium size vi dorukutai kada indian store loo, avi)
1 large vine ripe tomato chopped
1/4 cup bok choy
Method:
-- Boil pasta as per the instructions on the box with little salt, until al dente. Drain the pasta and keep it aside.
-- In a pan heat oil and saute onions are translucent.
-- Add garlic and saute for a few seconds.
-- Add tomato, green chilies, salt and mix well. Cover and cook until the tomatoes are soft and mushy.
-- Add bok choy and cook for a minute or so.
-- Add pasta and mix well until the sauce coats the pasta.
-- Add about 3/4 cup (appox.) water and cook on medium - medium high flame until most of the water/sauce evaporates.
-- Adjust the seasoning and serve hot. You can pepper if it not very spice.
You can add bell peppers or any veggies you like.
I forgot to mention, deentlo sauce ekova vundau... and I don;t like too much tomato sauce anyway.. Kaavalntee, you can add more tomato. I used Vine ripe tomato but you can use any kind. Or use canned tomatoes or tomato sauce.
Also, if you like cheese, you can sprinkle some cheese on the top.

Mushroom Risotto
Contributor: sirisha
This is Mushroom risotto recipe( i dnt like wth chicken, i luv da taste of lots of mushrooms)
You get dried mushrooms in Chinki stores. soak a handful in boiling water for abt 30 mins. Dnt put too much water. enuf so da mushrooms u put are completely soaked. (not too less or not too much). After that you can remove the mushrooms but dnt throw away the water.
Heat olive oil and butter in a pan. Put chopped onion (1 small onion shud be enuf, too much of onion fades away da original taste anta)You need to then put lots of garlic cloves. DH maa iddari ki chesina appudu he puts abt 6-7 cloves. The quantity he makes is generally enuf for 3 ppl..so adjust accordingly. Dnt burn the garlic, just make it a little soft.
Add the Arborio rice (1 cup of rice is enuf for 2 ppl..adi maa intlo normal rice quantity kuda same. So adjust accordingly).Just coat the rice with the oil and garlic for a couple of minutes. In a separate pan (you can lso do this in the beggining and put them aside) put some butter and fry fresh mushrooms. We use Shitake and button mushrooms. We generally pick put da bigger size shitake mushrooms they taste gud.
Fry them and you get a nice smell. put some salt and pepper to it.Saute for a couple of minutes and add them to the rice.Cook for another 2 minutes. Now add the dried mushrooms and fry again for 2 minutes. Make sure you have to keep stirring to not get it burnt. Add the rest of the water from these dried mushrooms. (use it like stock, it will be thick in consistency unlike plain water after u have soaked the dried mushroom in them for 30 mins.
**At any point in time if the rice becomes dry add water or stock.
Now when that water is reduced to almost nil add Stock ( my husband uses chicken stock, tastes better than veg stock).
Dont pour eveything at the same time,pour little by little. And make sure as and when it gets drier add stock. After 20 mins..you will feel the rice is cooked. Dont over cook or under cook. It shud not be like a paste or it shud not be crunchy.
Once you feel its done. Add a little grated parmesan, chooped parsely andbasil leaves to it.
Also, add a little pepper and salt at this stage after tasting.
* Add salt at the end becoz the stock you are using may already contain salt.
Enjoy the Risotto. If you like it let me knw :)
Sorry forgot to mention if u want chicken Risotto..jus fry chicken along with the Mushrooms. Put in the chicken first and then after a few minutes add the mushrooms.
That is the only addition.
Oopps gals sorry, marchipoya..
You have to add some pesto sauce just abt 2 tea spoons and like half cup cream to it around the end. before you put the parmesan and everything.

Pasta is very simple to make. Meeku pasta sauce dorikithe its well and good

Now add heavy cream or half and half and bring it to boil.
When it thickens add the cooked pasta and mix well.
If u like cheese add cheese at the last before serving.

Pizza with Self Rising Flour
Contributor: Pushpa
u can make pizza using tht flr and it actually comes out good than all purpose flr one. and i also use whole wheat flr with self raising flr in 1:1 quantity.
check for manjulas kitchen on you tube videos and u can exactly follow her instructions to make the base...i have tried couple of other recipes too, but this one was the best of alll!!
as for the topping and tomato sacue u can mrinara sauce at home using fresh tomatoes or canned tomato paste....this comes out really tasty believe me
mrinara sauce kosam u have to first heat oil and then add some chopped onions and minced garlic to it. once they r done u can add the tomato paste with some salt and pepper and finely chopped basil leaves.
and also use mexican blend cheese, it is a mix of 4 types of cheese and is also bit spicy and i love it. and also there is one type of cheese tht is barbecued..i mean it has tht taste and i use these two types of cheese at home when making anything.
also put some finely chopped basil leaves with toppings...they give a real nice flavor to the pizza and i just love this home made pizza. my daughterl oves it too and now rarely asks me for pizza when v go out
good luck!

Pizza Base
Ingredients
2 Cups All Purpose Flour(If possible try and get Bakers Flour/ Bread Flour)
8gms Dry Active Yeast(1 Sachet) or 5gms if using Fresh Yeast
1 Cup Water(lukewarm)
1 tablespoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
1 teaspoon Dry Oregano
10ml(2 Tablespoons) Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Process
1) In a bowl, Mix Lukewarm water, sugar and yeast and set aside covered for 10 mintues or until the mixture froths up to alomst double its volume.
2) Then sieve the flour and add salt, pepper and oregano to it.
3) Slowly add water and mix the dough to bring it together. Add the olive oil.
4) Knead it for 10-15minutes till the dough is well mixed and oil is well incorporated. The dough can be a little moist but not to wet. if it too wet then add a little flour. It should be smooth.
5) Leave it covered in a warm spot for 1 hr or till the dough doubles in size.
6) Once dough has risen then remove it onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough till knocked back to almost its original amount.
7) Roll in smooth sraight moves to desired shape of baking tray and once on baking tray apply a little more olive oil.
8) Top with whatever ingredients you want and bake till the base is light golden colour.
The above recipe should make 2x8inch bases if rolling thickly....but if rolling thinly it should easily make 2x10inch bases.
I sometime add a Tablesppon on fine Semolina(Sooji/bombay rava) to give the dough some texture.
Hope recipe is clear....any doubts please ask me...
[one more thing... the properties of flours vary because of various climatic contions like humidity, heat, cold etc....I have given a recipe that works very well in a very varied climate like Melbourne, Australia....extreme cold winters and bizare summers...so check out accordingly for timings to let dough rise etc
