Preparing something for dinner sometimes takes a lot of work. But there is one menu that is much easier to prepare with less cost on your pocket. Perhaps, many of you are already aware of what a pasta is. It is a kind of food that is widely known in many parts of the world, particularly in Italy, dating many centuries way back. In fact, it has spread and introduced in many restaurants throughout the world where it has gained popularity as a healthy food. Unlike those being prepared in commercial restaurants, my kind of pasta is a bit special in the sense that it has only a few ingredients and condiments and is less costly for your pocket.
What makes this special pasta distinct from the other pasta menu is that it is simple and easy to cook. I've been eaten a lot of pasta before during my rounds with some Italian restaurants but I found them to be lacking the blend of sweetness in it. This is the reason why I've made up my own home-made pasta meal. Here is my short menu for this kind of special budget pasta:
Ingredients
300 grams of pasta noodles, 4 pieces of hot dogs (pork, turkey, chicken or beef), a stem of celery, two spoons of chopped onions, a teaspoon of chopped garlic, a spoon of oil and half a teaspoon of salt, 1/2 cup of ketchup and grated Parmesan cheese for topping.
Preparation
Boil 2 quartz of water in a regular kettle and break the pasta noodles into pieces before putting them into the kettle just enough to submerge them. Put oil and salt and let it boil for a while until it is fully cooked. When you're done, let it cool in a strainer until the noodles are dry. Get a frying pan and heat it. Put two spoons of vegetable oil in the pan and let it heat up for a while. Then, put the chopped onions and garlic and the chopped celery stem all together. Mix them for a while until they are cooked slightly. This time, split the hot dog and chop them into small pieces and put the same in the frying pan. Let it simmer for a a couple of minutes before you put the Prego pasta sauce or any ordinary tomato sauce. Then, pour the ketchup into the pan and mix it. Let is simmer for a while and now ready for serving. On top of the each plate, put Parmesan cheese. Good for at least four servings.
Health Benefits of Pasta
According to the National Pasta Association, pasta is a healthy food and a good carbohydrate. In fact, "it has a low glycemic index of 41 and does not cause sugar in the blood to rise quickly so that consumers receive the benefits of prolonged carbohydrate absorption." The NPA also adds that pasta slows down digestion and absorption of glucose in the blood and provides essential nutrients such as fiber, protein and vitamins.
Quoting from the NPA: "Most pasta is made from semolina flour, which is ground from durum wheat. Pasta does not promote weight gain. Weight gain is not caused by one particular food – it is caused by consuming more calories than you burn. When eaten in the proper portions and in combination with healthy foods, pasta does not cause weight gain."
