A good party recipe which can served on the table. I have tried this recipe using other types of pasta like penne and fussili and the results were good. I combined 2 different types of coloured pastas and it was even more colourful and appealing to eyes.

Used shell pasta. It was good and mild. Probably needs black pepper too. Easy to make. 1 1/2 cups tomato pulp is about use 4 large tomatoes.
