Yummy Pasta ! June 19, 2007

An easy breakfast or dinner or snack dish.Though,takes a little while to boil the pasta.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup pasta [I've used penne pasta.Same procedure should hold for any type of pasta]
• 1 small onion,chopped
• 1 small tomato chopped
• 1/3 a cup of tinned tomato puree
• 1 tsp chilli flakes (or) simply,the flakes inside dry red chillies can be used
• coriander leaves to garnish.

Procedure

To make the pasta first :

• Boil some water in a vessel.Once it starts boiling,add a tsp of salt.And then add the pasta.It ll take around 20 minutes for the pasta to cook properly.Keep checking to see if the pasta is done.Once its soft and can be cut easily with a fork or knife its done.Once cooked, drain out the water using a strainer or colander,whatever.Keep the pasta aside.
• Heat 2 tsp oil in a frying pan.Once heated,add the chilli flakes and then the onions.
• Saute onions till they turn golden brown.Then add the chopped tomatoes and the tomato puree.Add a little (1 tsp) of chilli powder if you want spicy pasta
• Keep sauting till the oil separates.Once it separates,add the pasta and mix well.
• Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot !
