So let's begin with today’s recipe - RED SAUCE PASTA.
In order to boil Pasta, I have kept 6 cups water to boil. Add 1.5 tsp Salt.
Add 1 tbsp Oil.
Measured in 250ml cup, I have taken 2 Cup Whole Wheat Penne Pasta. Add it to the water.
Boil it in water for around 8-9 minutes till it gets 80% cooked.
It's been 9 minutes, we will check whether it's cooked. It should feel a little raw, Al Dente. Turn off the flame.
Transfer it to a strainer and pour cold water over it in order to stop its cooking process else it will cook by itself.
For Red Sauce we will boil 5 medium size tomatoes. Also, take 4 Kashmiri Red Chillies and remove the seeds, if you want it to be spicy then keep the seeds inside.
Cut the upper portion of the tomatoes and also, give a cut in the bottom, in this manner.
So that it gets boiled through out and gets easier to peel the skin. In this style, give 4 cuts.
I have kept 4 cups water to boil. After it starts boiling, add 4 Kashmiri Red Chillies. I am using Whole chillies, you can directly use Kashmiri Red Chilli powder when we cook Red Sauce.
Add tomatoes. Adding whole Kashmiri Red Chillies will enhance the Red colour of the sauce. Boil it on high flame till the skin of the tomatoes start to come off, around 3-4 minutes.
I have boiled for 4 minutes, you can see the skin coming off, remove it in a vessel. Let it cool down to room temperature.
Tomatoes have cooled down, we will peel off the skin. Cut it into pieces and transfer to a mixer jar.
Add the chillies as well and grind in to fine paste.
We will cook Red Sauce now, Add 2 tbsp Olive Oil in a pan, you can also use Butter instead.
Oil is heated. Add 1 tbsp fine chopped Garlic. Saute it.
Add 1 large size fine chopped Onion. Cook it on medium flame till it loses its rawness, do NOT turn it to brown colour.
Add the tomatoes paste to it. Remember if you haven't used whole Red Chillies then Add Kashmiri Red Chilli powder now.
Add the paste.
Add 1/4 cup water to the jar and now, add it to the pan.
Mix it well.
Cover it with a lid and cook for 3-4 minutes.
It's cooked for 4 minutes. Add 1 tsp Salt or according to taste and 1/4 tsp Black Pepper powder.
Add 1 tsp Pasta seasoning which contains herbs like Thyme, Rosemary, Oregano, You can use mixed herbs or Oregano instead.
1 tsp dry basil leaves, this is optional. 1 tsp Red Chilli flakes. 2 tbsp Tomato ketchup. 1 tsp Sugar.
Sugar will only balance the sourness of tomatoes and not turn it sweet instead.
The consistency should be this much. Add boiled Pasta. Gently mix it and cook it on medium flame for 2-3 minutes.
I have cooked it for 2 minutes, turn off the flame and transfer to a serving plate.
Very Delicious and Easy to Cook - RED SAUCE PASTA is now ready. I have garnished with grated Processed Cheese.
