TOMATO SALSA

while I was in US, my sis-in-law used to buy this tomato salsa by jars. Its nice to dip in the corn tortilla chips and eat.
I told her that I will try and make my own sauce after eating it.
The sauce turned out so well that she too does not buy it anymore.
You can use little of this sauce for your pasta.

Aarthii the penne pasta will swell big after boiling.
Try buying the elbows, or small types of the pasta.
Here is the recipe:
