    Making pasta sauce in bulk and using it pasta is usual thing I do once in a while, though I rely on the organic pasta sauce for Aj’s lunch box.

    I wanted to try a quick and simple one, when you just have fresh tomatoes. I have posted masala pasta which is an Indian version with all masala powders and spices.

    But this one is just plain that you can, prepare for a single serving, when you feel like having pasta but you don’t have any sauce in stock.

    Check out my masala pasta recipe, Pasta in white sauce and butter corn pasta.

    You cannot expect authenticity in this recipe but taste wise it is really good enough.

    I have added dried herb, you can use fresh basil leaves to make it more fancy if you want. Basically I don’t like fresh basil leaves.

    We pick and keep in pastas and pizzas. So settled with my favorite dried oregano.

    Instructions

    1. Boil pasta in water, salt and cook till soft as per the instructions given in the pack.

    2. Boil water and add whole tomatoes to it. Keep it immersed, turning once in between. After a minute, take it out. Peel off the skin.

    3. Break the tomatoes roughly and transfer to a blender. Grind to a puree.

    5. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes. Add cooked pasta to it.

    6. Add 2 tablespoon of cooked pasta water and mix well. Cook until the sauce coats well and becomes shiny.

    ready

    Serve with generous garnish of chilli flakes. You can top with vegetarian parmesan if you like.

    Notes

    • The measurement is for small sized pasta like macaroni, shell pasta etc. I used gramigna pasta.
    • While adding salt, make sure you add just right as you are adding both while cooking pasta as well as while cooking tomato puree.
    • Adding sugar and tomato sauce is very important to balance the acidity in tomato.
    • Be generous in adding olive oil to get glossy pasta.

      Any Italian herb. It gives that flavour required for pasta. If you have the italian mix that you have reserved from pizza order, you can use it too. Worst case, use finely chopped coriander leaves.
