This is my son's most favorite pasta recipe . Pasta/macaroni are wheat based noodle like food, that are cooked in hot water and mixed with any sauce of your choice. You can make your own sauce or buy outside. Usually tomato sauce,pesto sauce are most widely used . This creamy veg sauce is made of carrots,potatoes,onions and garlic which is pureed to a smooth paste with some other ingredients as well. This dish will be most filling and very healthy. Good for lunch box packing too !.
