Easy peasy recipe: Oleo pasta

This morning, I cooked oleo pasta for my son's lunch pack. His school has no canteen, fortunate and unfortunately;p It's good in such a way that I have a control for his menu however it means I have to prepare for his lunch pack for almost every school day. Pasta is always his favourite but heavy meal such as pasta / spaghetti bolognese / fried rice will be only for once in a while. Alternately he'll also bring sandwiches, fruits or energy bars to school. 



Ingredients:

250g of pasta (1/2 packet)
3 cloves garlics, chopped
3 tbs Olive oil
Peeled prawns
mushrooms - slices
Basil / Italian herbs
2 tbs butter
Salt & pepper to taste

Optional:
-capsicum chopped / sliced
-dried red chilly flakes
 (Due to unavailability of this, I used chilly powder but chilly flakes would be better)
-fresh parsley, chopped
(I used dried Italian herbs instead)
-Parmesan cheese

Methods:

-Cook the pasta till soft and drain, put aside.
-Heat olive oil in a frying pan and saute the garlics till yellowish colour.
-Add prawns, mushrooms, salt and stir a while till it's cooked
-Toss the pasta into the sauce and add butter
-Add capsicum / italian herbs / chopped parsley / pepper

Serve with chilly flakes and parmesan cheese.

*makes ~3 servings
