Macaroni in Red Sauce/Spiral Pasta with Red Pasta Sauce

Hi Friends,

I know that pictures are not doing justice with the title. As the red sauce pasta must be more red in color. Actually my sauce was bit less thick. But the taste was great. I always wanted to make pasta with white and red pasta sauce. But never tried. This sunday i gathered courage and tried red sauce. Pasta was yummy. Next time i will make sauce bit more thick.

I was always confuse between pasta and macaroni. Then i read some links and came to know that Macaroni is a type of pasta. There are so many types of Pasta like spaghetti, Fusilli, Penne etc.

Its Spiral Pasta which i have used for this recipe.

Ingredients:-

Pasta - 2 cups (boiled and drained)

Tomato - 2 medium (pureed)

Onion - 1 medium chopped

Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp

Tomato Sauce - 1 tbsp

Tomato Puree - 2 tbsp

Oragano - 2 tsp

Salt - as per your taste

Recipe:-

Take your ingredients

Heat oil in a pan

Add cumin seeds

Add pureed tomato

Add salt and Oregano

Add tomato sauce and tomato puree

Mix well, cover and cook for one min.

you can add onion at this stage(i change my mind and did not used)

After 1-2 min, sauce is thick and bit oily

SAUCE IS READY

Now add pasta

Mix Well

Cook for 1-2 min

DONE

SERVE

can you believe that it was son (cash) who arranged this bowl and plates

Notes:-

Use any time of pasta, i have used spiral.
Make sauce a bit thick by increasing the ingredients, mine was bit thin so i added tomato sauce while serving.But over all result was yummy.
I have used domino's oregano as i like them so much (i always ask them for few more), you can use any store bought.
