Pasta has been one of my fav since a long time, what's more i survived our holiday in "Rome & Venice" on pasta and different sorts of veggie pasta's alone..;).
Travelling is not very easy, especially when your "Vegan", is one standard line my hubby says all the while, but the sweetheart has not once tried to convert me into his type.... which is a hardcore "Carnivorous"(pssst...he won't sapre me for this comment but chalta hai yaar....;).
Of course the version you see here is the healthier version which i normally stick to...but if you want to have a richer, yummier version then you must try adding at least 1/4 stick of butter towards the end and of course you could sprinkle a bit of Parmesan Cheese if you'd like to.....;)
