Red Sauce Pasta.
A gorgeous date night meal looks like this! A glass of wine, simple red sauce pasta and a long conversation goes a long way in reminiscing special moments of life. We usually do pastas and wine and just chatter non stop or do a movie marathon.
This is so simple to make and kid friendly flavours too. Spice levels could be adjusted as per the taste preference.
How to make it?
Make a cross slit in the bottom of 3 medium sized tomatoes and blanch them. Remove skin and purée them. Keep aside. Cook spaghetti for 2, in boiling water with a tsp of salt and 1 tsp oil, until al dente. Run it under cold water to arrest further cooking and keep aside. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan, add 2 tbsps chopped garlic, 1 cubed large onion and sauté them. Add the tomato purée and let it cook for few minutes. Add 3-4 basil leaves. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Switch off the flame, let it come to room temperature. Blend it again in a blender. Heat a tsp of olive oil again, add the blended mix, add 2 tbsp tomato ketchup. Mix in the cooked pasta, salt, pepper, chilli flakes, dried herbs of choice/pasta seasoning.
