This week I was able to try only one recipe for this series. It’s my friend Laksh’s Pasta Upma. It’s a very simple recipe and a wholesome one. All you need is just any variety of pasta and some vegetables.
My Notes:
I used 1 cup of Barilla Plus Elbows. This is a multigrain pasta with 17gms protein and 7gms fiber per cup of uncooked pasta. It is also a good source of ALA Omega-3, which is an essential acid that promotes heart health and not found in traditional pasta. I have also used a handful of soya nuggets along with other veggies.
Thanks Laksh for sharing this recipe. It was very tasty and we all loved it.

Great idea. I usually do make whole wheat spaghetti and pasta desi style, as the spices cover up the whole-wheaty taste. One comment about the nutrition point you made – Omega 3 fat chains are gone when you heat somethign with it, so products that require heating, and mention omega3s – they’re not really going to help you get in any omega3s.
Deepa
That’s true Deepa. I read the same about the omega-3s in flax seed meal also.

@Uma: I live in the suburbs of Philly. Definitely let me know if you happen to visit here and I’ll too.
@Laksh: Thanks for the recipe dear. It’s like rava upma, onnum illana, takkunu pannidalam, but tasty too. Actually I did not add tomatoes, that’s why it looks like that.
