On this wonderfull occasion of Independence day I feel proud I am an Indian.. I want to prepare something special for this joyful moment and I found this tricolor rotini pasta in my shelf which closely resembles our tricolor national flag.
Minestrone soup is one of the cornerstones of Italian cuisine and eaten throughout Italy. Common ingredients include beans, onions, celery, carrots, and tomatoes. Add any vegetable that is in season and make this soup distinctly yours.Rotini literally means "twists" and it a wonderfull pasta to add to minestrone soup.I am sure you will enjoy this soup on any day..
