This spaghetti recipe is so easy and has all the ingredients that would be available at home. I truly relish this recipe and I carry it to office at times as well.
This was awesome! I modified the recipe a little bit to use more tomato and lesser ketchup and it truly gave the Indian spice to an Italian dish! Loved it.
The flavor of the spaghetti is just right and i like the spice angle.
