Pasta with Seeds

Cooking happened again today, something quick and simple, we like to call it pasta with seeds (if anyone recognize it and would give it's official name, fell free to do so in a comment). This is one of my mother's favourites, mainly because it's supposed to be a diet food. Not like it's not a pasta with oil and oilseeds...

Ingredients:

• A pack of pasta. I used spaghetti, but any kind will do.
• Cooking oil
• Olive oil
• Hulled pumpkin seeds
• Parsley leaves
• Garlic
• Salt, pepper
• Cheese

Cook the pasta in boiling salty water. Until it's done, chop up the parsley leaves and the garlic (owners of garlic mashers have the upper hand), and into another bowl, or right into a large pan or pot, the pumpkin seeds. As a note: if you chop up the seeds with a knife, it'll flung everywhere. But a grinder will make it too small, so do it anyway. Use a colander on the pasta, and fry the seeds on oil. If they seems allright, add in the pasta, the garlic and the parsley (gourmets can add a bit of basil too... or anything, really. That's the best part of this recipe: it can contain about anything), add salt and pepper according to your taste, and por olive oil on it, at least as much as you used for the seeds. I know it doesn't sound too healthy (it is not), but the results would be too dry without it. Stir it and fry it until the pasta draws in the stuff, then it's ready.

There you go:

What I might have missed... Of course, the cheese. In this case, it's a mix of grated normal and smoked cheese. Because every pasta is better with cheese on top. EVERY ONE.

I know it's lacking of any meat, but it's biggest advantages are that it's complete in less than an hour, with minimal cost. Have a good meal, see you next time!
