The family loves pasta. The kids love it so much that they might not mind having it daily. Now that is a guess since I have never fed the same thing even twice in a row. But I can feel it when I see their faces light up when it is pasta rather than the boring idli. Although for the most part we stick with tomato based pasta, I sometimes look up for different ways to make it interesting. This is one such recipe that I came across while looking for recipes to finish up the tomatillos in the fridge. I added my twists and twirls to it to finish up other ingredients and we had a filling and healthy dinner. Off to the recipe. Recipe adapted largely from here.

My Notes
You can also roast the garlic along with tomatillo pieces.
