On Thursdays, Mr.P fasts and on those days, if i have a lot of time on my hands, i do make an effort in cooking up a meal that only i enjoy. While most of the Thursdays are spent eating just rice and some curry, when i m really in a mood, i do make a pasta or some egg fried rice to please my tummy. This pasta happened like that. I followed no particular recipe. Just went with whatever i felt like and it tasted like so many good things at once- cheese, tomatoes, basil and finally, pasta!
Recipe For Cheesy Tomato Pasta

Prep Time: 10 mins

Penne pasta 1 c
Homemade Pasta Sauce 1 recipe
Olive oil 2 tsp
Onion 1 large chopped finely

Saute the chopped onions till golden brown.
Now,add the sauce and cook for about 3 mins.
