Cooking the Pasta
Refer to my earlier for cooking the pasta easily Elbow pasta-in white sauce.

Toss the pasta onto the sauce and mix well, sprinkle parmesan if you have or shredded cheese like i did. Also, you could add more veggies either sauteed or boiled and for carnivores cook chicken or meat separately and toss it into the sauce while adding the diced  tomatoes. Add a dash of tabasco sauce as per heat requirements.
