Instructions
For orange pasta
Grind the pine nuts and add the tomato puree to it, to get a thick sauce. Keep it aside.
Heat the oil in a pan, add the puree mixture, salt, pepper and the remaining spices. Allow it to be cooked to 5 minutes.
Use vegetable stock or water if it gets too thick.
Stir in the pasta and let it cool for 1-2 minutes
For white pasta
Melt the ghee or margarine in a pan, add the flour and sauté on a slow flame for 1/2 minute or till you get aroma of cooked flour.
Add the milk gradually, while stirring continuously, so that lumps do not form. Bring it to a boil.
Add the cheese, salt, pepper, all herbs, mix well and heat till the sauce thickens.
Stir in pasta and let it cool for 1-2 minutes.
For green pasta
Combine pine nuts with other ingredients in a blender and blend into a smooth paste.
Heat the oil in a pan, add the pesto, cream, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil.
Add the boiled penne pasta and toss gently in the sauce till it is well coated.
How to proceed
In a plate, first put the orange pasta, then below it the white pasta and finally the green pasta. In the middle you can put some sliced black olives.
That’s it. Have a delicious Independence Day. 🙂
