Fresh Tomato and Spinach Pasta image

I got this recipe from my mom, and it's one of my favorites. It's easy, not too time-consuming, and it tastes great. It's a little bit spicy, though, so if you don't like spicy food, you might not enjoy this.

The sauce was too watery. I had to add some cornstarch to thicken it up.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some additional spices and herbs to give it more flavor.
