Wheat Pasta in easy Tomato Sauce - Tangy Red Pasta

11/2/2014

0 Comments

 
We all love cheesy creamy pasta outside, but can we do something nice at home? I had tried many times to create a good pasta at home and a much healthier version. I think this time I almost got a good red pasta version and a very healthy option too. Normal pastas are made out of refined flour - no fibre at all. I searched for Wheat pastas in the super market and finally bolted down on the Durum wheat pastas from Disano. It says "from the golden fields of Italy and it just takes 8 minutes to prepare, with a low glycemic index, low cholestrol and high levels of fiber." I had to try this one.
Some people may call this recipe as Arabiata pasta, but I'm really not sure of it's name :)

Wheat Pasta in a Simple Tomato Sauce - Red Pasta
I will give two versions of this pasta and I'm sure you would choose the instant version if you are in a hurry like I do. 

Ingredients:
Pasta - 1 cup
Onion finely chopped - 1
Tomato chopped - 1 (optional since you are going to add tomato puree or sauce)
Garlic chopped - 1 tsp
Chilli flakes - 1/2 tsp or Kashmiri Chilli powder - 1/4 tsp
Oregano or Mixed Herbs - 1/4 tsp
Cheese grated - 2 tbsp 
Olive oil - 1 tsp
Salt
Ready-made Pasta sauce - 1 1/2 tbsp (I used Delmonte Pasta sauce)
(Or make your own pasta sauce by boiling 2-3 tomatoes and a quarter of a capsicum (optional). Peel the tomatoes and grind them into a puree.)

Method:
Boil Pasta in 3 cups of water with a tsp of salt and a tsp of oil. After the pasta is cooked, strain and cool the pasta.
1. Heat oil in a wide pan. Add the Garlic and onion. Saute them well until it's translucent.
2. Add chopped tomatoes if you like, this makes the pasta a little more tangy. Add required salt. Saute them well until cooked.
3. Add the ready-made pasta sauce and quarter cup of water. If you are adding the home-made tomato puree, add it now and let it boil nicely. 
4. Add chilli flakes/ chilli powder, oregano, herbs, etc. Add a pinch of sugar (optional). add pepper powder if you like.
5. Once the sauce is thickened, toss in the cooked pasta and mix well. 
6. Place the pasta in a serving dish and grate the cheese over the pasta. Serve it hot.

Try this recipe and let me know how it turned out.
Happy Cooking!!
