Vegetable Pasta - Indian masala

I have tried pasta in Chinese style 3 times before. All times, I could not make the taste like restaurants. So after that I never ever try that way :).  But later I tried with Indian spices it turned out great.  So I should stick to this recipe. Its very simple cooked with vegetables and delicious indian spices. Check here for Egg pasta
