Expert Tips

• Adding capsicum is optional , you can replace it any other veggies of your choice.
• Serve immediately as it the sauce may get dry soon. If it gets dry, you can add little more milk, heat it up and then serve.
• You can use any pasta variety for this recipe, I had macaroni so used it.
• You can also use color capsicum for a more colorful looking pasta.
• Mushroom cooks faster so just sauté for 2-3 minutes until color changes don’t make it too soft, it should be crunchy enough to bite.
• Add more cheese as preferred especially if its for kids be generous.

Serving and Storage

Serve it hot with toasted bread, it tastes great on its own too. This keeps well in fridge for 2 days. If storing in fridge next day add little boiled milk, heat it up to make it thin before serving.
