Macaroni pasta with Bechamel

I first tried this dish at pizza hut and became instantly in love with it. Hence, the search for the ingredients and recipe began. That is when I realized that this is one of the easiest of pasta recipes which can be made in no time with the least of ingredients. Everyone liked it at home. So why dont you try it next?

Ingredients

2½ cups macaroni pasta
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion or 200 g, diced
1 capsicum
1/2 tomato
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup bechamel sauce ( I used homemade but we get maggi mix too)
1 cup mozzarella cheese or 100 g

Method

Cook the macaroni pasta according to packaging instructions. Drain and cool under cold water then set aside.
Heat the oil in a sauce pan and sauté onions and capsicum for 2 minutes then add tomato and fry for 1 minute.  Season with salt and black pepper, stir and set aside.
Pour 2/3 quantity of the béchamel sauce into the cooked macaroni in a mixing bowl and mix to combine the sauce and the pasta well. Arrange half the quantity of pasta mixture over the bottom of an oven dish.
Arrange the prepared veg mixture over the pasta in the same oven dish then top with the rest of pasta mixture.
Spoon the rest of the béchamel sauce over the pasta and top with Mozzarella cheese.
Bake in a 190°C preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until top becomes golden in color.
