Mostaccioli is a type of tube pasta with stripes and shaved edges. We loved only Alfredo sauce for pasta. Having the same again and again was kinda boring. So I tried my own version of pasta-well of course with an indian touch. This is the second time I'm making this and my hubby loves it. Packed some for his lunch - and heard that there was a fight among his friends. Well that was my credit about its taste. So here to share the version of pasta my family loves.
Well, we side this with Broccoli, Mushroom & Beans. I did not have mushrooms in stock so i chose Broccoli and Beans.
