This pudding is an excellent way to combine your favorite vegetables with a creamy taste, and the pasta adds a pleasant texture. Here’s how to prepare it step by step. Ingredients: - 200 g pasta (preferably whole grain for added nutrients) - 1 medium onion - 1 large carrot - 1 small zucchini - 1 bell pepper (any color) - 100 g grated cheese (you can also use feta or mozzarella) - 2 eggs - 250 ml milk - 2 tablespoons olive oil - Salt and pepper to taste - A handful of fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for serving) Instructions: 1. Preparing the vegetables: Wash the vegetables under cold running water. Peel the carrot and chop all the vegetables (onion, carrot, zucchini, bell pepper) into small cubes or thin slices, depending on your preference. This will help with even cooking and give the pudding a more pleasant texture. 2. Cooking the vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until golden. Then add the carrot, zucchini, and bell pepper. Cook the vegetables for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become slightly soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 3. Boiling the pasta: Meanwhile, boil the pasta according to the package instructions, but drain it 1-2 minutes before the indicated time to keep it firm. It will bake in the oven, and this step will prevent the pudding from being too soft. 4. Mixing the eggs and milk: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the milk, adding a little salt and pepper. This will create a creamy base for the pudding. 5. Assembling the pudding: Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with the drained pasta. Add the grated cheese and the egg and milk mixture. Mix well to combine the ingredients evenly. 6. Baking: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish with a little oil or butter. Spread it evenly and bake for 30 minutes or until the pudding is golden and firm on top. 7. Serving: Let the pudding cool slightly before cutting it. Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley, alongside a crisp green salad or a yogurt sauce for a refreshing contrast. Helpful tips: - You can vary the vegetables according to the season or personal preferences. Broccoli, cauliflower, or spinach are excellent in this recipe. - Experiment with cheeses: add goat cheese for a stronger flavor or cheddar for a richer taste. - If you want a gluten-free version, use rice or quinoa pasta. This vegetable pudding with pasta and cheese is a simple, quick, and versatile recipe that will provide you with extra nutrients and delight the whole family. Enjoy every slice!
