Ingredients
250 |
grams of spirali pasta or any other pasta of your choice |
3 |
cups of pizza sauce |
1 |
tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated |
herbs |
dried |
salt |
to taste |
Preparation
1. |
In a thick bottom pan, heat the pizza sauce. |
2. |
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. |
3. |
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. |
4. |
This stage is known as al dente. Do not over cook the pasta. |
5. |
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. |
6. |
Add pasta to heated sauce. Mix well. Adjust spices and salt. Garnish with grated cheese. Serve hot. |
Notes
The most awesome and delicious pasta ever. This pizza sauce complements the pasta well.
