Red Sauce Pasta 




Ingredients



  • 1½ cups Oleev Kitchen Raw Fusilli Pasta

  • 1 teaspoon Oil, optional

  • Salt to taste

  • Tomato Pasta Sauce (made with approx. 6 large tomatoes)

  • Parmesan Cheese or Mozzarella Cheese, for garnishing (optional)

  • Oregano

  • Chilli flakes

  • Dry Basil


Preparation: 


Boil approx. 6 cups water in a large pot/pan over medium flame. Add raw pasta, 1 teaspoon of oil, and salt (approx. 1 teaspoon). Stir well and let them boil until pasta is al dente (cooked but not very soft). It will take around 10-12 minutes. Stir in between occasionally to prevent sticking.


To check whether the pasta is cooked or not, bite one pasta. If it is too hard to bite or is white in the center, it is raw and requires cooking a little longer. If it is slightly firm to bite, then it means it is cooked to al dente. If you want your pasta to be very soft, cook them for 2-3 minutes more once they are al dente. Drain the water by carefully transferring the cooked pasta to a large strainer (or a colander).


While pasta is cooking, you can make the red sauce by cooking tomatoes with oregano, chili flakes, and dry basil. Add sauce to a pan and heat it over medium flame. Add cooked pasta and mix well. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Turn off the flame. Tomato Pasta is now ready. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese or feta cheese or grated mozzarella cheese.
