N2.NAME OF THE RECIPE:  Lemon Macaroni & Pepper Macaroni

Lemon Macaroni

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.

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.
