Onion Cream Pasta

2

I tried another version of pasta with cheesy-creamy flavor. After trying this recipe,  I bet you will never buy ready made 2 min pastas. 




You Need:

4-5 Spring onion bulbs
1/4 Cup of parsley
1 Green chili
3/4 cup cheese (crated)
1 cup milk or 1/2 cup of cream ( i used milk)
Black pepper powder as per taste.
250 g Macaroni Pasta
2 Tb spoon olive oil

Method:
Boil Pasta with salt and 1 t spoon of olive oil.

Grind onions, chili and parsley in a mixer. Mixture should be fine paste. Heat oil in a pan, saute onion mixture till it releases its aroma. Add milk in the mixture, mix well. Cook for 5-7 mins, add cheese into it. Cook on simmer for next 5 min. Add pasta  and mix well. Off the flame. 

Sprinkle black pepper powder and serve hot.

I am very sure all cheese lovers will relish this. It gets cooked in no time.
