• Himalayan rock salt

Method:

If you are proficient / experienced with food preparation, following the efficient and fluid sequence demonstrated in the video walk-through may work well for you. If you are newer to working with food, or if this meal is not yet familiar, it may be better to prepare all ingredients before beginning the cooking, so that you don't feel rushed and can manage each aspect of the meal preparation most effectively:

1. Put sufficient water into pot (1/3 - 1/2 full is usually enough) and place upon the stove

2. Rinse vegetables and cut into small pieces

3. Put olive oil and pasta into the water once boiling

4. Place pan on stove and add olive oil and mince (or chickpeas/beans as a plant-based option) once the pan is heated. If you are using mince, brown it before adding the veggies. Push pasta fully into water as it softens / when possible.

5. Place seasoning (of your choice) and finely chopped tomatoes into the mince/beans, and stir together. Place vegetables into a separate pan with a small amount of water and saute until they soften; checking often to ensure they don't overcook. Stir pasta to avoid sticking.

6. Chop up chillie (if not already done) and add it along with the sliced mushrooms, into the mince/beans before mixing together and turning the stove down to simmer; adding further water as needed for consistency. Continue to monitor and stir pasta to prevent sticking.

7. Taste-test the pasta often until it is soft yet "al-dente" (firm to the bite), then place it into a strainer to drain once done.

8. When the veggies are done (not over-done - still firm and vibrant!), add the mince/beans mixture to the veggies and stir together.

9. Taste-test the mince/beans/vegetable mixture and add salt as preferred for taste.

10. Place mince/beans/vegetables mixture, and pasta into serving bowls.

11. Mix butter into the pasta to add flavour and prevent sticking.

12. Put pasta onto plates and dish the mixture onto the pasta; adding a dollop of either sour cream (less healthy) or plain Greek yogurt on top to enhance flavour.
