It is a general belief amongst older people " Pasta Aakhri Raasta" I.e. as a last resort you opt for pasta & was considered to be a junk food . But pasta has always been my favourite & specially Macaroni pasta with veggies , beans have been a speciality for me since childhood . It's a wholesome dish . It's nutritious, healthy & awesome.
