I have cooked the vegetables in a pan, but they can be steamed or sautéed or roasted and then added to the macaroni pasta.

Generally, I do not use any cheese or cream when I make this macaroni recipe. You can add them if you want.

The macaroni pasta is made in an onion-tomato masala and so the tangy taste of tomatoes is felt in the macaroni recipe. The recipe is not spicy and thus suitable for kids, but you can make it spicy by increasing the amount of red chili powder, black pepper powder and garam masala powder.
