Fusilli Pasta in Tomato and Basil Sauce is a classic pasta dish. Homemade Tomato and basil sauce along with vegetables make this dish healthy and filling. Fresh flavours are added to this pasta from freshly plucked basil leaves from my Balcony Garden. I love to use the herbs which are home grown organically as they impart wonderfully fresh aroma and elevate the dish.
I am not particular about the combination of vegetables when I am using this sauce. I just use whatever vegetables I have in hand for my pasta dish and it always tastes awesome. This sauce is versatile and tasty and can be used to make pizzas, lasagna or vegetables.
