Pasta with Roasted Pepper Sauce


My friends who are with me for long they already know my love for pasta….in any form and shape. Today’s recipe is one which is bit similar to pasta omelets but the main twist is I use veggies and scrambled egg base which make this simple pasta bit unique and healthy. I slightly fried the veggies but if you are a weight watcher use raw vegetable, you can also skip butter used in the egg mixture and while you sprinkle the cheese on top don’t be so generous ( haha) . With this low fat variation the taste will differ a bit but still you can enjoy very delicious pasta. I am on a happy mood so generously used cheese and butter but you chose what is better for you and go for it and let me know how you liked it.
