Ingredients
- 1 red onion quartered and sliced
- 12 cherry tomato quartered
- 1 green bell pepper chopped into strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper chopped into strips
- 5-6 mushrooms sliced
- ½ lemon sliced
- 9 ounces (250 g) whole wheat penne pasta
- olive oil a drizzle
- Indian curry powder enough to taste
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- A pinch oregano dry
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- A handful of hazelnuts chopped
Instructions
- Put all the chopped veggies in the pan, followed by the pasta. Pour the olive oil over the mixture and season everything to taste. The spices aren’t mandatory; you can be creative with this. Put on the stove and set it to high, and pour the broth over the mixture. Note: It’s important to pour with enough broth, so the mixture is submerged.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, and then leave it to simmer on low heat for an additional 10 minutes. Use tongs to mix everything up and even out the mass.
- While the meal is simmering, cut the hazelnuts into small pieces for garnishing (notice the multitasking here). It will provide a nice, earthy flavor and a dose of crunch to the dish. Serve hot, and enjoy this One Pot Leftover Pasta
