" Pasta Delight - Veg & Non Veg style"

Imagine cooking two meals at the same time cause one person eats veg and the other non veg. I usually land up doing this at home when my husband is in the mood of eating non veg and I want to eat simple veg food. So I came up with a simple solution of cooking one dish and adding non veg as an extra condiment :)

This recipe is of mixed baby pasta served in two styles. 

Hope you will enjoy this recipe and relish it for your beautiful Sunday evenings
