Pasta comes in many different flavours,colurs and shapes and one of it is the spiral tri-colored pasta which is a feast for eyes. This spiral pasta is my girls favourite for their colors and shape. As for me, the pasta holds the sauce perfectly well. We used to have pasta dishes for Saturday lunch often enough to the extent i made sure we always have stock in our pantry. Nowadays, pasta make it on our dining table even on weekdays for dinner as it is easy to get them done and spare me thinking what for dinner. You may serve them as its own or with toasted garlic bread and soup for a complete meal.
