    My younger sister loves pasta a lot. Specially the mac and cheese and pasta with tomato sauce. I am not very fond of it and my hubby too. So i kind of stayed away from it for a while. But now i am in my mum's place and she want me to make pasta for her very often. So i think you will see quite a few pasta recipe in this blog often.

    This is my go to pasta recipe, because it just needs a handful of ingredients and you can whip up in no time. By the time the pasta gets cooked the sauce will be done. So you toss them together and serve in less than 15 mins. So give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.
