Pasta Fascination

I usually cant cook up a good red sauce pasta. So taking up this as a challenge and trying to hunt for the best, EASIEST as well as a rich creamy red sauce recipe , I stumbled through the page of BBC's recipes. After mixing and matching couple of ingredients and throwing some creativity in, I ended up with an edible dish of Pasta Arrabiata

Here is the recipe for all those amateurs Pasta makers :)

1 can of Del Monte Red Pasta Sauce ( Available at the super market near you)

4 cups of Penne ( or any pasta of your preference)

Mozzarella Cheese (the super market guy recommended this ;))

1 onion sliced

babycorn ( my creativity) (optional)

Mixed Herbs

Paprika

10 -12 cloves crushed Garlic

Black Olives (optional)

2-3 tbps virgin olive oil

Serves: 4

Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Firstly saute onions and garlic in olive oil till they are pinkish brown or till cooked. Simultaneously cook the pasta in boiling water and salt as per the instructions on the back of the pack. 

Once the onion-garlic mixture is cooked, add the tomato paste and let it simmer. Add the mozzarella cheese to the tomato paste. You will notice the paste getting thicker once the cheese melts. So you might want to add a little water to it which is optional. Add the boiled pasta and mix it well. After switching off the flame, sprinkle the pasta with herbs, paprika and olives.

Enjoy the pasta while its hot!

P.S. I had boiled babycorn alongwith the pasta and added it to the sauce. Lot of people might not want to add it.
