What is Tomato Paste, Pepper and Onion Pearl Pasta?
Tomato Paste, Pepper and Onion Pearl Pasta is a Turkish-style home-cooked dish made with small, bead-shaped pasta, tomato paste, pepper and onion. The vegetables are usually softened in a little oil before the pasta and water are added to cook together.
