Shell Pasta with Dried Chilli Flake

Simple and nice! Instead of using freshly cut chilli, I used of dried chilli flake, making this easier to cook and no worry if you run out of fresh chilli. Want some? It is real delicious, maybe I am happy or I am real hungry today that this pasta taste so delectable! Was doing marketing yesterday, I saw a packet of shell pasta which is gluten free – Rice Shell Pasta. It is translucent white.
