Method -

1. Put the pasta in boiling water and add salt to it. Keep steering it from time to time.
2. In another pot, boil the spinach and green peas together. Do not throw away the water, we would need it for gaining required consistency in the sauces.
3. In another pot, boil the potato and corn together.
4. Finely chop the 3 onions and garlic cloves. Sauté over oil till onions turn golden brown. Make 3 equal parts of the same in 3 different cooking pans.
5. In a blender, make the tomato purée and add it in one of the pans of onion. Turn the heat on and add red chilli powder tomato ketchup and cheese. Finally add salt to taste. Bring to slight boil before turning off the heat.
6. In a blender make a purée of spinach and green peas. Add this purée to another pan of onions and turn the heat on. Add cheese and salt and with the help of freshly made vegetable stock, attain the necessary consistency of this sauce. Bring to slight boil before turning off the heat.
7. Finally in another pan, melt the butter and add the flour. Sauté till the flour is slightly golden. Do not over do it. Immediately add milk and keep steering to avoid the lumps forming. Add salt and bring it to boil. Then pour this mixture into the last onion pan and turn the heat on. Cut the potatoes into small cubes and add them along with corns and cheese in this sauce. Bring this final white sauce to slight boil before turning off the heat.
8. The last stage is the pasta mixing. Drain the water completely and divide it into 3 equal portions. Folding it into the respective sauces, serve them along side each other.

Serve - Serve with Garlic bread and wine.

p.s: I know its too much of pots and pans and simultaneous tasks. But trust me this version with a slight homely touch to it doesn't fail you at all. It looks too good, is relatively easy and absolutely sumptuous! :-)
