Cooker Pasta

We were exhausted last night after slaving on the farm all day, no imagination, no one really wanted to cook... but hungry. Suddenly we remembered this curious and definitely a bastard invention - pressure cooker pasta. Of course it was easy, but it was also very tasty and the ideal comfort food. Remember, any of the veggies can be replaced - beans for carrots, bajji chilli for a single green chilli, toss in corn, broccoli whatever is handy. I just happened to have this combo in the fridge.

Here goes: Chop tomatoes into quarters, top and tail a handful of beans and cut them into longish pieces, chop 6 bajji chillies, a few florets of cauliflower, mince a little garlic and a little fresh coriander. Put all this into a pressure cooker with a packet of penne or fusilli. Add dry herbs, crushed red chillis, salt. Add 4 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of Amul butter, a few chunks of Amul cheese.
