Del Monte Italian Pasta – Fully Reloaded

To be frank, I have zero experience with cooking but I was interested to cook one or other day specially when I am free or when I face some challenges to survive without cooking or no access to even mini hotel etc. So, I got an opportunity to cook Del Monte Italian Pasta with two varieties that too as a challenge during weekend time. 

I got a packet of Del Monte Italian Pasta Spirali product and I have to plan it for what recipe shall I try it or why not my own recipe for sweet and hot items. Thus, I was very careful and done it in a professional manner by experimenting a bit to give the best result without any crap. It is different story that I know only how to make an omelette or boiled egg and tea by max, so, this could be of course a different challenge for me.

I didn’t take anyone’s help nor I browse online to find related recipe and replica a bit to cook accordingly. I tried this one wholeheartedly and was about to buy an Italian Chef cap and Apron to take some snaps but my thought was photo’s shall be relevant of cooked items than mine. So, you will find few recipe and their snaps herewith.

When I initially did the experiment of the Spirali Pasta by boiling them well, I felt it like they were dancing jointly upon taking them on the spoon, I stared at them for this then they were shivering and I saw them closely then they were smoking too in front of its owner. Hmmm, I thrown them back on the vessel (on boiled water) and found that they are swimming with double or triple etc. very smart Italian Del Monte Pasta Spirali and it was really nice to see them which also reminded me about my bike’s shock absorber too.

Note: The recipe I prepared below can be used by Diabetes patient too and no harm (for Doctor) at all and patient too unless sugar-free (diet sugar) usage.

I know very well that most of them would prepare Italian Pasta either in Italian light spicy style or Indian style with reasonable spicy added. So, I would like to be a different on this since I have prepared two dishes differently. Yes, I am the one who prepared them and believe me. The first one is sweet Italian Pasta and the other one is less spicy Italian Pasta which would suit foreigners and Indians etc. How to prepare Del Monte Pasta? Learn it from here.
