Pasta Al Forno
I am a typical south Indian in food habits and I do
not generally try out other dishes other than my typical south Indian dishes when we visit a restaurant. But my daughter
loves to try out all vegetarian dishes .The other day she came back from a restaurant and said that she loved the pasta that was served there. Curious to
know if it was different from what I cooked at home, I asked her to describe it and she said it was creamy and with lot of cheese,
not the typical red sauce . She said it was called as
Pasta Al Ferno.I just smiled at her because I knew what the next question from
her would be….When will you cook it at home????
