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.

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.
