Tomato fusilli pasta with herbs

After thinking for a while, i decided to make tomato pasta without the tanginess of tomatoes. i made a simple delicious pasta dish with bell peppers, beans and carrot simmered in rich tomato puree. This came out really well. cooking tomato puree for an extra time helped to get rid of the natural tanginess of tomatoes :-)
