Instructions

In a large Pan boil 1.5 - 2 liters of water.

Add the Pasta once the water has boiled.
Once the pasta is cooked well, drain off the water and spread it on a large plate.
Add a few tsps of Extra virgin olive oil on top of the cooked pasta. This will keep it from getting stuck to each other and will give a fine glaze to it.
In another pan, heat the Olive light oil a bit and chopped garlic and the onions.
Once the raw garlic smell goes off and the onions turn pink, add other veggies except the spring onion leaves and gently stir fry after sprinkling salt.
Add the Tomato Basil Pasta sauce, the Mushroom Pasta Sauce, Black pepper and stir well.
After about 2 mins, add the Dre Fenugreek leaves and Garam masala.
Stir well and add in the Pasta.
Fold gently and add the spring onions and the Italian herbs.
Cover the pan with a lid and Switch off the stove and let it stay for 2 mins.
Serve hot with a dash of extra Virgin olive oil on top of each serving.

Since the contest tagline says "We are going the Italian way", I presume we Indians are going the Italian way of making Pasta and hence this Pasta was made with an Indian touch over a conventional Italian Pasta. Hope you all appreciate it.
