Well, who doesn’t like Pastas?? Although they originated in Italy, today Pastas are so popular and common in every household across the world! Tri-Color Curry Pasta is my take on the Italian Pasta recipe, giving it an Indian twist with Indian spices and herbs to bring out a luscious, spicy, tangy and rich Indo-Italian Pasta with whole veggie goodness. In this recipe I am using Tri-color Rotinis or Rainbow Twirls variety of pasta which adds to the nutritive value of the entire dish due to the combination of spinach, tomatoes and enriched wheat flour in the pasta itself! So, come along…. Let’s take the Pasta on an Indian expedition..!! 😀
