Napolean Pasta / Neapolitan Pasta

When we are out of ideas on what to eat , while eating out , it is usually a toss up between chinese (for hubby's sake or italian for my sake. My son gets to decide the dessert which is usually an icecream.
Thinking about this makes me realise that I do prefer pastas over noodles - I am not too keen on eating a pizza outside home.
Also, I make pasta based salads pretty often for myself. It is easy to make and carry to work as well. This particular recipe is one of the many that I have been making recently.

2 tomatoes finely chopped
