Pasta in faux meat sauce

"Please, please, please. May we have pasta for lunch?", asked the kids. The heat being what it is, I really don't want to enter the kitchen, but how does one say no to a request so earnestly made. T make matters worse, I'd run out of cornflour powder, so had to improvise with whatever I could find!

250 gms pasta

1 small head broccoli

3 pods garlic, peeled

1 small tomato chopped

1/2 cup soya granules

12 pitted olives

2 tbsp butter

1 tsp paprika powder

Salt to taste 

2 tbsp cheese, grated 

Method:

Cook the pasta as per the instructions. Wash with cold water, drain and keep aside. 

Separate the florets of broccoli, and chop the stems fine. 

Melt 1 tbsp butter and sauté the broccoli with salt to taste. Keep aside

Melt 1 tbsp butter, add slightly crushed garlic pods, and sauté. After 1 minute, add the tomatoes, and sauté till mushy. 

Add soya granules and sauté slightly. Add 1/4 cup water, mix well, and cook on low flame till the water is absorbed. 

Add paprika powder and salt, mix well. Add broccoli, mix well. Turn off the flame. Add the pasta, mix well, cover and let it cook for 2-3 minutes. 

Add cheese and olives before serving.
