Tasty, easy to cook sauteed garlic vegetable pasta! Flavored with marinara sauce, peppers, onions and more.

Over the past few days, I had shared with all of you Mishika’s favorite vegetable pasta on my instastories and found that you guys were really loving it. As most of you were asking me about the recipe, I decided to create a blog post with some easy to cook instructions, so that you can also try it in your kitchen.

This is such a crazy time with all of us quarantined at home – cooking at home has become the normal norm. To spice things up so that we are not too bored of repeating the same dishes again and again, I have been trying to get as creative as possible with our usual dinners. As you all know, that in the current scenario with grocery stores running low on stock you can still create this pasta with just three ingredients – peppers, onions and roasted garlic marinara sauce. Feel free to add any other vegetables to the pasta, it will still taste great no matter what.

P.S. Sorry for not taking such great pictures of the dish as I was trying to click them in the night. And once the pasta is ready it is very hard to have any leftover for the next day as we all love it so much especially Mishika who loves eating rounds of it 🙂

Over a few years, I have played around with many different versions of the recipe with different marinara sauce and spices. I found that if you are making it for the kids, then this pasta tastes best with regular marinara sauce or the roasted garlic marinara sauce as they both are mild and tasty for kids to eat.
