Children often request for creamy pasta, but many times we do not prepare pasta and give it to them because due to the cream, it becomes very heavy and the nutrients are also not available properly. Its simple solution is to take multigrain pasta. This will provide the right amount of fiber and some other nutrients will also be available. Apart from this, if you want to make pasta more healthy then you should remove the cream from it. Now the question is how will the pasta become creamy? So for this, try the pasta recipe given here. Which is also rich in protein.

If you want to make a creamy chutney exactly like the restaurant, then while grinding the cheese-cashew nuts, capsicum and tomatoes, add pasta water little by little so that it gives the right texture to the paste in a balanced manner. Apart from this, if you do not eat onion and garlic then you can add chilli oil instead of garlic.
