Macaroni and beans are a traditional blend of Italian cuisine. Let's try to cook it ourselves.
For 6 servings of pasta, you will need:
- Onion, preferably red.
- The big peppers are green and yellow.
- Pasta rolls medium size 250 g.
- Canned white beans 480 g.
- Salt, pepper, thyme, lemon juice.
Place a pot of water on the stove first.
Finely chop the onion and garlic. Sweet peppers should be cut into squares or cubes. The recipe contains red and green peppers. But only red can be added. The dish with multi-colored pepper looks more beautiful even. Heat a couple tablespoons of vegetable oil in a deep skillet. When it's hot, fry the onion and garlic until golden brown. By the time it is about 5 minutes.
The water has already boiled and you can pour pasta into the pan. They are usually boiled for 10-12 minutes. The exact time is written on the pack. The main thing is to stir them during cooking. Otherwise they may stick together. You should not digest either, they can turn into porridge.
While the pasta is boiling, add more vegetable oil to the pan with onions. Put the bell peppers in a skillet and fry them, stirring occasionally. Approximately 5 minutes. Do not overcook, otherwise the pepper will become soft and tasteless.
Rinse canned beans under running water. The easiest way to do this is in a cola slag. When the water has drained, the beans can be poured into the pan. Add thyme, lemon juice, salt, pepper. Readiness will come when the beans are warmed up. This is about 3 minutes.
The pasta is already cooked and you can drain the water. Add butter to prevent them from sticking together. They can now be mixed with vegetables and beans. The dish is ready! You can also serve separately. Simply by placing the vegetable mixture on a plate next to the pasta. From above, all this beauty can be sprinkled with herbs. For example, dill and parsley. But this is not for everybody.
The dish is good because the vegetable mixture can be prepared in advance. Everything was fried until tender and put into the refrigerator. The main thing is not to forget to heat the vegetables in the microwave before adding the mixture to the pasta.
Prepare such a dish quickly, but do not overuse pasta. You can reduce calories by using oil. The calorie content of one serving is 339 calories. There will be 11 g of protein in it, and 12 g of fat.
