In a mixer, add mint leaves, coriander leaves, chilies, lemon juice, salt and grind into a smooth paste.
In a non-stick pan, add olive oil, minced garlic and saute’ them for 2- 3 minutes until the garlic has browned.
Now add the freshly ground Pudina Chutney and saute for 5-6 minutes until the raw smell goes off.
Add the cooked pasta to the pudina chutney and mix until all the pasta is coated well with the chutney.
Add salt and pepper according to your taste. If you think the pasta is too dry, add 2 teaspoons of water to give it a creamy texture. You can also cream to give the Pasta In Pudina Chutney a creamy texture.
