Tri Color Rotini and Pizza

Busy weeknight calls for quick dinner and pasta with its funky shapes and colors can please everyone. While grocery shopping yesterday, Saumya picked the tri color rotini. She calls it Line Pasta.Cooked with green bell peppers, zuchini and onion, this was another chance for a hopeful mom to bring vegetables to the dinner table and still be in preschooler's good books. She was very happy to see rotini on the dinner table on the same night she picked it from he store and put up a request for it. "Thank you for making my line pasta right tonight Mamma"
Zucchini failed to make it beyond one bite but fortunately peppers and onions passed the test!
I have to say this is not my favourite kind of pasta though rest of the family loves it!
Tonight's dinner was pizza made with store bought fresh pizza dough. It turned out really good and no vegetable picking was done by the preschooler! She ate the pizza, vegetables and all! This is a big win for me coz everytime we eat pizza, she just spends her time avoiding all the vegetables and after sometime gives up and moves on to the dinner rolls. The veggies were cut very small and had their crunch intact and I used them as the second layer Base->sauce->veggies->cheese. Maybe that worked when they were not right in her face and I had fun making it.
What's cooking in your kitchen today?
