Roasted Red Sauce Pasta

#experimentwithpasta

This is a healthy pasta recipe and also kids friendly. Generally kids don't like to eat vegetables so in this pasta I have made red sauce using tomatoes and bell peppers so kids can eat there favourite pasta without making any fuss about the vegetables. This pasta can be made for lunch, dinner or anytime snacking.
