This is a very easy and quick to make recipe out of Iron Rich Pastas. We usually have seen Pastas made with all spices, ginger/garlic paste but this is a very light and yummy dinner delight to make.SERVES-2 COOKING TIME -20MINS,TO COOK MACARONI:
· In a pan take 280gms of macaroni and add water in 1:1.50 ratio

· Now let it boil for around 10-12 mins or until tender with stirring in between
· Once done strain the water completely with a strainer and show it to the cold tap water so that we get it all shinny and not sticking to each other.
Note:
The filtered out macaroni stock when added with jaggery and salt or pepper and salt, as per our taste makes a very tasty and healthy drink.
