Point to note: (about pasta boiling)Boiling time of pasta depends on the type of pasta. So it depends on which type of pasta you use. Like fusilli will take about 10 minutes and penne pasta will take about 6-8 minutes. So cook accordingly, cook till pasta becomes soft but don't overcook otherwise it will break.

(about tomato boiling): make thin cross cut before boiling so that it becomes easy to peal off. As shown in picture ➨
