I am Ashu and in today's episode I'm making Red Sauce Pasta
which is actually very easy and super delicious, trust me
Very basic ingredients go into making this, tomatoes, herbs and pasta
I'm using Penne Pasta, which is basically cylindrical shaped pasta, you can use whichever you like!
I'm using dry herbs, you can use fresh herbs as well, that's even better!
so lets make delicious red sauce pasta
We'll switch the gas on, and boil water
followed by salt
and olive oil
we'll add the penne pasta and boil for 7-8 minutes or as per your packet's instructions
Till the pasta cooks al dente
We'll drain the pasta and meanwhile prepare the sauce!
For red sauce pasta, you need red firm tomatoes, if you take sour tomatoes
Or typical indian tomatoes(desi tomatoes) your sauce will be a little sour
and the pasta will get too tangy
wash the tomatoes really well and cut from the top
and chop out this woody portion
now we'll boil these tomatoes for 6-5 minutes
till the skin separates from them
switch the gas off and take the tomatoes out of the water
now we will peel the skin off and roughly chop
no need to be perfect here
because there final destination is getting ground in the mixie
now we'll heat a pan, add extra virgin olive oil, followed by finely chopped garlic
Now we'll add red chilli flakes, stir and then add our ground tomato puree
sauté
add salt, black pepper powder
now we'll add cheese & italian herbs seasoning
in case you don't have this, then you can add any italian herb seasoning
some oregano
and dry basil leaves
some tomato ketchup and we'll cook it on low flame for 5-6 minutes
till our pasta sauce reduces to about half, and gets thick
mixing the sauce and pasta together
and finally, mix the boiled pasta well
serve hot! (In a cool dish)
sprinkle some parmesan cheese
and in case you don't have parmesan, then any processed cheese would do!
even cheddar, or mozzarella
