• Olive oil - 3 tbsp
• Salt and pepper - to taste

Method

1.  In a wide pan boil water and salt. Then slowly add the pasta and cook till the pasta is all done ( it should be soft but firm). Stir in between to prevent the pasta from sticking together. After it is cooked, drain it and pour cold water in it. This is done to prevent it from getting cooked further.

2. Chop the onion, tomatoes and jalapeno peppers well.

3. Heat oil in a pan, add jalapeno pepper,onion and ginger-garlic paste into it. Saute till onion starts browning.

4. Then add the chopped tomatoes, saute till the raw smell of tomato goes. Then add 2 tbsp of tomato ketchup into it. 

5. Cook it till you get the consistency. Then add cooked pasta into it. Mix it well in medium flame for 7-8 mins.

6. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve it hot.

Happy cooking......
