FETTUCCINE IN HOMEMADE SAUCE

Fettuccine in Homemade Sauce is a quick, easy and delicious pasta recipe where the fettuccine is tossed in fresh homemade tomato garlic sauce. The addition of the fresh basil makes it more flavorful and jalapeno adds little spiciness to the pasta.

I always have stock of pasta and canned beans in my kitchen. The reason is you can always prepare a filling and quicker dish using this for lunch / dinner even on the days when you have not planned anything. I have used Barilla Fettuccine for my recipe.
