Tomato Pasta

Though Pasta making is considered easy but sometimes I feel its like making a Biryani.I know not all of you will agree with me.First boiling pasta,then sauteing the ingredients,then if there is an addition of any meat then frying that too..hehe. Maybe its when I think of preparing it in this form,which is usually prepared back home.But I would not say that for this tomato pasta.
This was made in no time.If you have the already cooked pasta ready then its more easy but otherwise you can saute on one stove and simultaneously cook the pasta on the other.Here I have not used any veggies along with Onion and tomato but you can use 1/4 cup of Carrot or Capsicum.And I have used dried Basil leaves but you can either use fresh ones or Oregano.That reminded me I have one more pasta recipe on blog a baked one loaded with Olives and cheese.
Now on to the recipe..
