Store Bought Tomato, Alfredo, Pesto Sauces

Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing well! Weather is cloudy, yet pleasant in my part of the world. Today's post is about my kiddo's favorite food. I call this Semi-homemade Cooking. Recently, my 10 year old has started enjoying pasta. Alfredo for pasta and Pesto for pizza. These store bought sauces make my everyday cooking easier. Feel free to share your family's go to meals.

Ingredients:

Alfredo Sauce

Tomato Sauce

Pesto Sauce

Chickpea Pasta

Black Pepper Powder

Sliced Onions

Sliced Bell Peppers

Sour Cream

Oil

Salt

How to cook Chickpea Pasta in 3 different ways:

Boil chickpea pasta according to the package instructions.
Drain the water and put the cooked pasta in a microwave safe glass container. I don't add salt while cooking pasta.
My kiddo doesn't like veggies in pasta. For my kiddo, I add about 1 - 2 tbsp store bought Alfredo sauce, pinch of salt, pinch of black pepper powder to the cooked pasta. Microwave for about a minute or so. Voila, Alfredo Chickpea pasta is ready to devour.

Now, pasta for us grown ups. In a pan, add about 1 tsp oil. Add sliced bell peppers and onions. Sauté for a minute or so, depending on how soft or crunchy you like your veggies.
Add store bought tomato sauce, 1 tbsp sour cream and stir at low flame. Add seasoning of your choice. I add black pepper and garlic powder. Add cooked pasta and stir well at low flame. Taste for seasonings and add salt or any other seasoning you like. Most seasonings like garlic herb, lemon pepper have salt in them.

Most store bought tomato sauces have added sugar in them. I prefer the one with no added sugar or any sweetener.
Pesto sauce tastes good with pasta, but we love Pesto Naan Pizza.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal) Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family. My Mom used to make this stir fry very often. Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple. I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India. Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Surti Val Papdi Bhaji

My Mom used to make Val Papdi Bhaji in a simple way with few ingredients. This is the first time I gave it a try here in my US kitchen. This stir fry does require little more oil, as no water is added for cooking. Dal Rice tastes great with this sauteed Papdi. I tried this Bhaji once with frozen Surti Papdi and I was not happy with the result. I prefer fresh Papdi for this recipe, which I can only find in the local Indian store. I am not sure if Val Papdi is called as Navy Bean or Fava Bean in English.
