Restaurant Style Pasta (using smith and jones pasta masala)

Hello Foodies,

After watching the commercial ad of Pasta prepared using smith and jones pasta masala, my daughter insisted to prepare one of the kind for her. For a mother it is always a pleasure to fulfill the demands of kiddos and satiate their tummies.

Taste of this recipe matches exactly the one we have at high-end restaurants. Recipe is also very simple (though not as simple as it says on the backside of the sachet of smith and jones pasta masala). Colour of this pasta recipe is typically orange which is not possible to achieve in homemade pasta (until you use any coloring agent), all credits to smith and jones pasta masala.

This masala readymix consists salt and we used salt while cooking pasta too, so I did not need to add salt while preparing pasta. But I've written that in the recipe. You too taste the dish before adding the salt.

All in all, this dish gets a five star rating both look-wise and taste-wise too

Now, putting all the conversations aside, here goes the recipe:

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

Uncooked Pasta - 200 gm
Smith and Jones pasta masala - 2 sachets (10 gm each)

Vinegar - 2 tsp
Mayonnaise - 2 tbsp
Mix herbs - 1 tbsp

How to :

1. First of all, cook the pasta al dente, using salt and 1 tsp oil.
