Pasta is a staple
food of traditional Italian cuisine. Today I post pasta recipe under Blogging Marathon….Italian
Cuisine with Indian twist theme. So here I came with “Penne pasta with Spicy Tomato
Sauce”……in which we used al dente penne pasta means fully cooked neither over or
nor under-cook with water and salt. For Spicy Tomato sauce which I prepared with
Indian spices and very simple cooking technique at home.

Pasta is generally a
simple dish, but comes in large varieties because it is a versatile food item.
Some pasta dishes are served as a first course in Italy because the portion
sizes are small and simple. The servings are usually accompanied by a side of meat.
Pasta is also prepared in light lunches, such as salads or large portion sizes
for dinner. It can be prepared by hand or food processor and served hot or
cold. Pasta sauces vary in taste, color and texture. When choosing which type
of pasta and sauce to serve together, there is a general rule that must be
observed.
