Vegetable pasta

Lately my little one has taken a deep liking to olives, and she wants olives in everything. And if her lunch box has olives, she'll finish the whole thing. The other day I made her pasta with olives and some other veggies(for her other veggies doesn't matter as long as she can see the olives, but she'll finish them anyway).

Ingredients:
Rotini Pasta(any kind will do) - 1 cup
Garlic - 2-3 cloves, finely chopped
Carrot - 1 medium, peeled and cut into bite size
Green Pepper - medium half, chopped
Corn(frozen or fresh) - 1/2 cup
Olives - 1/4 cup chopped
oil - 1/2 tbsp
salt - to taste
Black pepper - to taste
















Method: Boil water in a pot, when the water is boiling add the pasta to it and let it simmer for about 5-10 min depending on how firm or how soft you want your pasta. I like mine firm so I boil for about 5-6 min, drain and keep aside. In another frying pan, add oil, when hot add garlic fry a minute, add carrot, green pepper and corn and let the carrot get a little soft, add olives and stir for a minute. Now add pasta, salt and pepper and mix well. Your vegetable pasta is ready to go, you may add some freshly grated parmesan cheese and enjoy!
