Penne pasta with Mushroom sauce( Indian twist)

Penne rigate pasta with spicy oyster mushroom sauce , ha! this is so Indo-Italian. I just loved it. For vegetarians who love spicy food, this is all the way from paradise. Here it goes...

Ingredients:
Penne pasta - 1 cup

For the mushroom sauce:
Onion - 1 nos
Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tbsp
Chilly powder - 1 tsp
Tomato paste - 1 tsp
Green chilly - 1 nos
Pepper powder - 1 tsp
Oyster mushroom -1 cup
(chopped)
Salt for taste
Olive oil - 2 tbsp

Method:
Cook pasta (add salt also) in a stew pot in hot boiling water for 8 min, or till its done. Strain water using colander and keep the pasta aside. In a wok, heat oil, add finely chopped onion and fry till golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and saute for a min. Add chilly powder and stir for 1/2 min. Add finely chopped mushrooms, green chillies, tomatoes paste and cook till its done. Add salt and pepper and serve hot along with the cooked pasta.

Note:
The pasta can be added to this sauce and tossed well before serving. Do not add water as the washed mushrooms will contain some water.
