    Spicy Tomato Macaroni with Cheese is a delicious pasta made Indian Style with Indian Spices and finally garnished with cheese. A typical fusion dish makes a wonderful choice for breakfast or for an evening snack.

    We love macaroni for breakfast. It gives us a change from the usual Idli or Dosa we make regularly. I was happy that my kids love pasta too. Tomato Macaroni has been a regular one since my childhood with Amma making it regularly for breakfast on Sundays. It also served as quick breakfast option on those hurried days.

    I have already posted different pasta dishes, like
    Macaroni in Tomato Sauce
    Quick Macaroni in Tomato Sauce,
    Macaroni with White Sauce
    Penne Pasta with Onion, Tomato sauce

    So it was a different experience trying out the recipe given in the macaroni packet.

    Spicy Tomato Macaroni with Cheese

    Ingredients Needed:

    1 cup Macaroni
    1.5 cups Water
    1/2 medium Onions
    1 medium Tomato
    1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder
    1/4 tsp Garam Masala
    1/4 tsp Cumin Powder / Jeera powder
    Salt to taste
    1 tsp Cooking Oil
    1 cube Cheese

    Method to prepare:

    In a nonstick pan, add oil, onions. Saute the onions well. Then add salt, spice powders. Once it’s cooked, add the tomatoes and cook for a couple of minutes.
    Add water to the pan and bring to boil. This can be done quickly by covering it with lid.
    Then add the macaroni and simmer for 10 mins, stirring it frequently.
    Simmer till the pasta is cooked and water is all absorbed.
    Grate the cheese and add to the pasta when it’s still hot. Serve it hot.

    Notes: I added the tomatoes as such, you can puree it so that the skin is not there as a hindrance to kids when they eat. Reduce the spice or increase as required.

      Nice, simple and easy..and who does not have a bambino pasta packet. I believe it was the first brand of macaroni to be widely available across India.- Prandya

      Looks good. I used to make the less spicy (read no spicy) version for my kids but looks like they have moved on 🙂

      Looks good Valli. Though pasta is cooked frequently at my home, I somehow never have tried Indianising it. 🙂
