Kids are fan of pasta…give them anytime and there is a never no for it. Penne and farfalle pasta in tomato sauce are my kids favorite. I don’t use tomato paste for the recipe. Freshly chopped and cooked tomatoes give a nice texture and taste to the pasta. Often it is seen that the sauce made at home gets separated from the pasta. So I made some changes in the process to give a nice saucy texture.

Ingredients:

• Penne pasta – 3 cups
• Chopped onion – 1 large
• Tomatoes – 3 medium
• Mushroom – 5 to 6
• Tomato soup powder – 1 tbsp
• Red chilli flakes – 1 tsp
• Black pepper powder – ½ tsp
• Fresh basil leaves – 8 to 10
• Dry Oregano – 1 tsp
• Salt – to taste
• Water – to cook
• Oil – 2 tbsp + 1 tsp

Method:

• Bring water to boil in a pan.
• Add salt and 1 tsp of oil to the boiling water.
• Add pasta and cook till it becomes soft.

 

• In the mean time roast the tomatoes directly on the gas burner till it turns black from outside. This will burn and separate the skin from the tomato.

 

• Remove from the flame and let it cool.

 

• Remove the skin and chop finely.

 

• Chop the mushrooms.

 

• Check that the pasta should not be overcooked otherwise it will break.

 

• To check that the pasta is cooked properly, observe the change in color of the water. When the water becomes turbid, it indicates that pasta is almost cooked. 

• Drain the water.
• Add a tsp of oil to the cooked pasta and mix gently. The oil will not let pasta to stick to each other.
