Vegetable Pasta
Pasta is almost every child’s favorite. Personally I love pasta way too much and I prepare it in so many different ways. But the Indian style of making vegetable pasta/macaroni is so easy and and so tasty with true Indian taste and Italian pasta. You can add lots of veggies whichever you like and experiment with this recipe by adding different spices and condiments. This is a nice way to include lots of veggies in your diet and pasta also get easily digested by the fiber from veggies.It is a low calorie pasta sauce as no cream or cheese is added.
