Pasta Stir fry (with asparagus, broccoli, peppers and snow peas)

An easy peasy Pasta Stir fry loaded with vegetables. Perfect for a quick, healthy lunch for the young and old alike.

Once in a while, I like to go off the heavy pasta sauces and have it light and simple. And this is my go to dish then – the veggies keep changing but the concept is the same.

This pasta stir fry is more like a warm salad but a complete and fulfilling meal in itself. And a good way to get children to eat vegetables too. A pinch of chilli flakes provide the spicy edge for our Indian taste buds but you can skip it for a neutral flavour or add a dash of tomato sauce too. My kiddo likes it with the chilli flakes though.

Adi loves to take these kind of pasta dishes to school; and I am more than happy because he really enjoys the veggies when cooked this way.

The advantage of recipes like this is the fact that it’s super versatile. The veggies can be chosen to your liking. And if you need a protein boost, you could add boiled eggs, meat or seafood.

When Adi was younger, I used to make this dish with alphabet shaped pasta. Just a bit of lunchbox fun!

Here are a few other easy and quick pasta dishes, perfect for midweek meals;

  1. Pasta with Spinach and Goat’s Cheese
  2. Pasta stir fry with Veggies and Mortadella
  3. Penne with Tuna
  4. Linguine with Asparagus and Tomato
