Basic Tomato Pasta

• 160 grams Pasta
• 150 grams Tomato puree
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 Red chili pepper
• 3 to 4 leaves Basic (or bay leaf, parsley, oregano, rosemary etc.)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Salt
• 200 ml Water

1. In a pan, heat olive oil, garlic and chili pepper over low heat until fragrant, taking care not to let the garlic burn.
2. When the garlic becomes fragrant, add the tomato puree, basil, salt and 1 cup of water.
3. Simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes.
4. The sauce is done!
5. When the sauce has simmered down, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, and mix with cooked pasta.
6. The pasta in the top photo is tagliatelle, but you can use short pasta like penne.
7. Adapt the sauce any way you like.
8. Here I used garlic, chili pepper, bay leaf, onion, zucchini, ham, and parsley for a mild variation.
9. I omitted the chili pepper and added eggplant to make an eggplant and tomato pasta.
10. I added onion, canned tuna, capers and oliver old to make a tuna and tomato pasta and so on.
