Last month, i was hardly at home, we were travelling a lot. so i was afraid that i couldn't post this month BM, but somehow i managed to cook three italian recipe and i'm glad that i took this month challenge,otherwise i couldn't push myself to do it.
So here is the first recipe under Italian dinner recipe. Pasta is a staple food of italian cuisine. When i searched for italian recipe, i found that pasta with tomato & basil is a popular combo, so i tried this recipe and it tastes wonderful. Within 10 days, i made it twice and we love it to the core.
