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