Here the pasta made may be similar to  other pastas we  made or tasted, but an  addition of roasted bell pepper takes it another level of taste, making it magical. Also this works like a one pot dish and serving it with some  chicken salad and garlic bread is all your friends and family need :)) so do try this recipe and I tried it and liked it ,surely you may like it too.
