TOMATO SAUCE

Roughly chop onions and tomatoes

Heat oil in a pan and add the chilli flakes, garlic and onion. Once toasted well, add the tomato, salt to taste and hand torn basil leaves.

Cook this sauce for 4-5 minutes


FOR PASTA

Add both sauces to the mixer grinder in a 1:1 ratio and blend them. (You can add some water/stock to help blend it in case both the sauces are too chunky/thick)

Heat some butter on the pan and add the blended sauce once it has melted. Add some ketchup to this, mix and simmer. Add pasta to a pot of boiling water with salt, and stir. Cook your pasta till it’s al dente and strain it. Add some of the strained water to the sauce. Add your strained pasta to the sauce along with some Italian herbs - dry or fresh and toss it all together. Your pasta is ready to plate and enjoy!


TIPS AND TRICKS WHILE COOKING PASTA

Always make your sauce before you boil your pasta. Never throw away your pasta water as it helps thin out the sauce while emulsifying it so it clings to your pasta. Always cook your pasta to be al dente - which means to have a bite. This ensure the pasta in your end dish is not mushy and limp.
