Recipe Notes:
- In this recipe, I have used penne pasta but you can use any other pasta of your choice. This pasta is from the brand Tasty Treat. It is made with suji or semolina

- I have used Keya’s pasta seasoning, but you can use fresh herbs if you like.
- Instead of adding store-bought cottage cheese or paneer, I have used homemade chena. It gives a creamy texture to the whole dish.
