Tomato Pasta, this is a bowl of hot fiery pasta. Tanginess of tomato and hotness of the chilli powder are the key element in this bowl. Jeshu alway fond of Tomato pasta, he call this as red pasta for the bright red colour.
Pasta’s are cooked with red sauce, and with some Italian herbs for the exact taste. Here I used south Indian masala and method for this recipe. Tomato pasta is the simplest and easiest recipe to make. Jeshu started his full day school, he demands this red pasta for his evening snack. He completely enjoy this red pasta for his evening snack. Fiery hot pasta was so delicious and yummy for kids snack, make sure kids should eat spicy food. Jeshu loves spicy food, so this is and absolute favourite dish. If your kids don’t take much spicy food reduce the masala. Hope this post will be helpful.
