Procedure
  1. Boil the Spaghetti with some salt and oil so that it doesn't stick together. Drain the water and keep the cooked spaghetti aside
  2. Now, boil the tomatoes and peal the skin. Ground them in a mixer/blender with Garlic, Basil Leaves & Green Chilli
  3. Sauté the onions & bell peppers. When the onions turn golden brown, add the ground mixture and spaghetti
