I started eating Pasta only after marriage.I never liked it. However it was Shiva’s fav dish. On Sundays he used to prepare Sunfeast readymade Pasta…(I just hate that) My thoughts on Pasta changed completely after eating in GRT Grand Restaurant in T.Nagar,Chennai. We had been there for a lunch buffet and there were 3 different preparations of Pasta. They were all mouth watering and I couldn’t resist myself from eating them.After that I wanted to prepare it at home. On a Saturday morning got all the necessary ingredients and started my own way of preparing it. Its not the authentic Italian version but just my very own version with all the available sauces in my pantry.
