Notes
- Cook the pasta till al dente (Cook pasta, with firm to bite).
- I used the Pasta Type farfalle, you could use any pasta type such as penne, Rotini,cellentani, route(cartwheels) and so on. Farfalle are best suited to cream and tomato dishes.
- you can also add 1 carrot, 1/4 capsicum & hand ful of Green peas after adding onions, cook till soft then add tomato puree.
- Always choose juicy tomatoes to get better taste.
- Adding cliantro gives extra flavour to pasta.
- Serve the pasta hot.
