A few basic recipes and techniques, along with a great oven, go a long way in cooking deliciousness.

Make it Marvello-us Tip:

Larger batches of bread usually cost less. The ‘convection’ feature in Marvello helps in baking even large batches of bread evenly and quickly. The convection mode circulates the air and helps brown the outer crust while keeping the inner part soft.

BAKED PASTA

Baked pastas are great comfort food. The flavour and cheese make the mouth salivate. Marvello OTG is great for baking pastas, lasagnes, and more.

• Boil water in pan with a little salt
• Add 500g penne pasta and cook till a little firm than al dente and drain water
• Pour cold water over the pasta
• Preheat oven to 175 degree C
• Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a pan over the cooktop
• Add bell pepper, zucchini, and cook for 2 min
• Add 1 tsp dried basil, 1 tsp dried oregano, and cook for 1 min
• Stir in 750g pasta sauce
• Drain the pasta and add to the sauce
• Grease a glass oven tray with olive oil
• Pour half of the pasta in the tray
• Top it with 5 cup of shredded mozzarella
• Layer it with the other half of pasta
• Again top it with 5 cup of shredded mozzarella
• Bake for about 30 min or till the cheese melts and turns brown

Baking Tip:

Practice makes you perfect. If the pasta tends to dry up while cooking, do not add the cheese at first. Cover the pasta with an aluminium foil and bake for about 20 min. Then remove the foil, add the cheese, and bake.

Make it Marvello-us Tip:

Marvello OTG comes with the USP that allows you to set timer up to 2 hours, unlike most other OTGs that have timers up to 1 hour. This allows you to bake lasagnes, meats, etc, in one go rather than having to set the timer twice.

A basic vanilla or chocolate sponge cake is a very versatile option for cake lovers. You can eat it hot or cold, add in nuts, choco chips, etc, with ice cream or with chocolate sauce, etc. Follow this super easy, yet marvello-us recipe and make it in your own kitchen.

Baking Tip:

To replace eggs in cake batter, whisk together and add 2 tbsp water, 1 tsp vegetable oil, and 2 tsp baking powder for each egg.
