Healthy Pasta Dish





I've made my own version of Pasta Primavera. I know I'm not an expert but in my kitchen anything goes... Basta nagustuhan ng mga kids yung mga imbento kong luto, that will do... Especially if it has meat and veggies in it, its a keeper, and they believe me if I tell them it's healthy...
Ingredients:
1 tsp. olive oil or vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic chopped
1 medium sized onion chopped
400 grams shoulder bacon chopped (this one does not have the fat that the middle bacon has)
1/2 head brocolli sliced into small pieces
1/4 head cauliflower sliced into small pieces
1 carrot sliced into small pieces
1/2 cup water
2 x 250 ml pouring cream
salt and pepper to taste
500 grams spaghetti cooked as per package directions
1. In a large non-stick pan, fry the bacon, when a little bit brown, set aside.
2. Heat oil and saute garlic and onions.
3. Put the bacon back and put brocolli, cauliflower, carrot and water.
4. Let simmer for a few minutes until veggies are half cooked.
5. Put the cooked spaghetti into the bacon and veggie mixture.
6. Add the pouring cream and cook, stirring constantly until liquid is reduced to 1/2 or until it looks creamy.
7. Put salt and pepper to taste.

Actually, my kids like it with a little bit of dry rubbed basil on top when I serve it... :-)
