Herbed Fusilli in Pink Sauce

You would have tasted pasta in white sauces, red sauces and even green sauces, but have you ever tried one in an enticing pink sauce? Herbed Fusilli in Pink Sauce is a memorable treat, which is also easy to prepare. You will be surprised to know that the pink sauce gets its colour not from beetroot or any pink ingredient, but by the interplay of the many other coloured ingredients used in its preparation.

This recipe, my kids loved every bite of it....the only thing I did different is I added an extra 1 tsp spoon of mixed herbs to the pink sauce.

Heres something new.. Herbed fusilli is a treat in itself.. The creamy white sauce and tangy red sauce gives a super taste to the pasta along with these crunchy veggies and herbs.. Even if you dont like either of the 2 pastas, white or Red, you would definately love this Pink sauce pasta..
