Indian Style Masala Pasta

 Who says “NO” to Pasta?? Kids ---Impossible .I made this Indian Style Pasta for my son who always loves to have it. But, how do we get them to eat veggies. So I have to trick my kids by adding a lot of vegetables and spicing up the Macaroni and creating this tasty dish.

It’s very easy to make and it can be made for dinner or even as an evening snack. This has become one of the pasta recipes I started preparing often. This dish is prepared using macaroni type pasta.
