Methods to cook pasta in red sauce

To cook pasta

In a wok, add the required amount of water of about three cups of water and half a teaspoon of salt to cook the pasta.

Add the pasta.

Take the tomatoes and make slits as shown in the picture.

Here I’m cooking the tomatoes along with the pasta itself. If you want you can cook the tomatoes separately for about 10 to 12 minutes or until it is cooked Softly. I’m doing this just to save the time. So cook the pasta for about 10 minutes or until the pasta is cooked.

Check know whether the pasta and the tomatoes or cooked softly. To check the pasta just take a small piece of it and crush it with your hand. If you can able to crush it easily then the pasta is cooked. To check if tomatoes are cooked, you can see the tomato skin peel off easily.

Remove the tomatoes and let it cool down. Filter the pasta and keep aside.

Once the tomatoes are cool down, peel off the skin and chop them to small pieces.

Now transfer the tomatoes to your food processor or a mixie jar and grind them to a very fine paste.

When the oil.is hot, add the finely chopped garlic cloves. Fry them for about 2 min in low to medium flame.
