Indian style Tomato Spaghetti is a blend of spaghetti with Indian herbs and spices. It is different from the usual Indian lunch items. It is a delicious, simple and filling meal.

This is not the food of traditional Italian cuisine. It is an Indo-Italian fusion dish, Italian spaghetti with Indian spices and herbs to satisfy Indian taste buds. Trust me guys, this recipe is a delicious recipe it will definitely appeal to anyone.

The same can be done with Indian style tomato pasta. I used fewer vegetables in this recipe. You can add carrots and sweet corn, broccoli and olives, these vegetables go well with this dish.

How to cook spaghetti?

• Boil water in a large pot. Add salt generously and add 1 tsp of cooking oil.
• Add uncooked dry pasta, stir on medium-high heat for 10 – 12 minutes or cook as per the instructions on the package.
• Drain it using a strainer.
• Rinse under tap water to stop the cooking process.
• Toss in olive oil, so the spaghetti will not stick together.
• Cover with a lid to keep it from drying out.

Notes

• Pasta is an excellent source of energy and you can choose whole wheat varieties for more protein and fibre.
• Please cook al dende. Otherwise, we end up with overcooked spaghetti that is not tasty and succulent.
• You can add grated mozzarella cheese before turning off the flame.
