A very simple pasta recipe which can be prepared within 30 minutes, with very few ingredients. Ideal dish for a quick last minute dinner.
Ingredients
- 300 grams Tagliatelle pasta
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 large tomato chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped garlic
- 1 cube chicken stock OR 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tbsp black pepper powder
- 1 tsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup chopped parsley or coriander leaves
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 tbsp butter
- 4 tbsp olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Heat water along with salt in a large vessel till it boils. Add the pasta in boiling water and cook till it is cooked ‘al dente’. Drain the pasta and reserve 1 cup of drained pasta water. Pour some oil over the pasta and set aside.
- Heat a saucepan and add 2 tbsp chopped garlic. Pour 4 tbsp of olive oil over the garlic and fry till it just turns color.
- Then add chopped onion and fry till it softens. Add tomato, 1 cube of chicken stock, 1 tbsp black pepper powder, 1 tsp sugar. Fry all for 2 minutes on medium heat till it looks like a sauce. If needed add few tbsp of water. (You can add 1 tbsp of curry powder instead of a stock cube)
- Just before serving, add boiled pasta to the warm sauce along with 1 cup grated cheese, 1/4th cup chopped parsley and butter. In case if the pasta becomes dry, add some of the reserved pasta water. Cook on medium heat for 2 minutes till everything has combined well. Add salt only if needed as the cheese is already salty.
- Serve hot and fresh.
