Ingredients

  • 250 gram pasta of your choice
  • 3 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 tbsp parmesan cheese grated
  • to taste salt & seasoning

Instructions

  • In a thick bottom pan, heat the pizza sauce.
  • In a deep vessel, boil water with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and salt. Once the water starts boiling slowly add pasta, allowing the water to continue simmering all the while.
  • Cook the pasta in simmering water for another 5-8 minutes. Keep checking using a fork to cut the pasta. If it takes slight pressure to cut through the pasta then it is done.
  • This stage is known as al dente. Do not over cook the pasta.
  • Drain and sprinkle the pasta with little olive oil to keep it from sticking together. Also you may want to collect this water and use as stock in a soup. You can run pasta under cold water as well to stop further cooking.
  • Add pasta to heated sauce. Mix well. Adjust spices and salt. Garnish with grated cheese. Serve hot.
