3-Step-Pepper-Pasta

To all my friends, who have learned to enjoy the small things of P.G. life... Because that is what dreams are made of.


Living in a Paying Guest Accommodation has it's perks.
For one you don't really have a fixed curfew. I mean we are given one, but it's not like we follow it (OK we kind of do).
Another is that you learn to cook just by tasting the food provided. You can guess all the ingredients correctly (no joke), and figure out the recipe.

I present to you, one of our findings:

3-Step-Pepper-Pasta

 
Serves: Less than the number of students accommodated
Prep Time: Half a day (maybe more)

Ingredients:
Pasta (we have macaroni here)
Ground Pepper/ Pepper Corns (we found ground pepper)
Tomato Ketchup (store bought)
Water

Preparation:
1. Pour water into a pan till about 3/4th full. Add a tablespoon of pepper. Bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until it is al dente, which should take roughly 10-12 minutes.
2. Strain the water into a saucepan. Add a few handfuls of ground pepper and cook till it thickens into a tomato sauce like consistency. Add the pasta. Let it soak for a few hours.
3. Strain the pasta again. Put it into a bowl and add one teaspoon of tomato ketchup. Mix well. Empty an entire bottle of ground pepper and mix well again. Serve cold in a big canister.

Bon Appetit!
