Spicy Pasta with Spring Vegetables

I've got a bit of an Indian/Italian fusion thing going on here, and do you know what, it works. The spicy flavours of our Balti Spice Paste works really well with the chopped tomatoes, as a pasta sauce with a kick to it. A great change, and excellent way to liven up a staple dish.
