Italian Red Sauce Pasta

Ingredients

  • Macaroni pasta (250 grams)
  • Canned tomatoes (1 can/400 grams)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Dried oregano (1 teaspoon)
  • Green chilies (3–4)
  • Onion (1)
  • Garlic (2–3 cloves)
  • Olive oil (1 tablespoon)
  • Chopped cilantro (1 tablespoon)
  • Parmesan cheese (for serving)

Method

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil with 1 teaspoon of salt. Add the pasta and cook according to the time on the package—usually 10–12 minutes. Drain the pasta.
  2. Heat olive oil in a pot and add chopped onion and garlic. When the onion softens, add the entire can of tomatoes. Cook until the sauce reduces and thickens, then add salt, dried oregano, and chopped green chilies. Cook for 2–3 minutes, add the cooked pasta and chopped cilantro, and mix well. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and serve hot.
