Spaghetti, a type of pasta is my son’s favorite dish. I serve this with tomato sauce and cooked vegetables. I love to prepare this tangy tomato sauce at home.
This is a very simple recipe and I prefer to add some vegetables of different colours like capsicum, peas, sweet corn and carrot. I used both thick and thin variety spaghetti.
Ingredients

- Capsicum – 1 no
- Peas – ½ cup
- Corn – ½ cup
- Coriander leaves – for garnishing

Method

- Now add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt, sugar, soy sauce, pepper powder and cook for few seconds; now add tomato puree, 2 table spoon of water and mix well; cook for 4 to 5 minutes in low flame or till oil separates; you will get a beautiful, colourful sauce.
