ABOUT Cheesy Pasta RECIPE

Penne is a type of pasta with cylinder-shaped pieces. In this recipe, I have used penne rigate pasta, tomato, spring Onion bulb, basil pesto, cheese and few herbs. I have not used any flour for making sauce. This pasta tastes amazing. I usually prepare this pasta for my girl and she loves it a lot. Boiled corn or veggies can also be added in this recipe.
