Macaroni Tomato Pasta my way!

 Italians are known to eat a lot of pasta, but the Spanish eat their fair share as well. They may not be known for their pasta dishes, but macaroni, rigatoni, penne and spaghetti are often eaten in Spanish homes with a typically Spanish twist to the sauce. As in Italy, in Spain pasta is considered a first course rather than a main course. I have tried making pasta my way, after reading few recipes; however this recipe will serve 5 adults as a main course. Please try making it on weekends, am sure your gonna enjoy it!!
