Spaghetti with tomato and capsicum

Spaghetto in Italian means thin string. Spaghetti is the plural form of spaghetto. Spaghetti is a cylindrical pasta prepared with all purpose flour. I have prepared a simple, easy and quick spaghetti with bell pepper and tomato paste. Bell Pepper or capsicum as called in India is rich in carotenoids and vitamin C. Please check below for step by step instructions and pictures for preparing Tomato Capsicum Spaghetti
