Pasta with tomato paste

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. Take pasta of any desired shape: someone likes shells, someone feathers, and someone loves spaghetti very much. Vegetable oil can be anything: both expensive olive oil and cheap sunflower oil. But since we will fry on it, the oil must be refined so as not to burn in the pan. Unrefined vegetable oils are very useful and suitable for salad dressing.

2. Step 2:

   

   First we will put the pasta to cook. To do this, boil water in a saucepan - pasta is put only in boiling water, otherwise they will definitely stick together. Salt the water to taste.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add pasta.

4. Step 4:

   

   Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally so that the pasta does not stick. Also be sure to make sure that the water does not boil off - in this case, you can add a little boiling water. The time that you need to cook pasta is always written on the package, so you will have to study it carefully. Also, the time may differ from your preferred pasta density. It will take a little less time for the state of al dente.

5. Step 5:

   

   While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce. Peel the onion and cut into small cubes. If you like to feel the pieces of vegetables in the finished sauce - cut larger, if you like a more homogeneous sauce - smaller.

6. Step 6:

   

   Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the chopped onion.

8. Step 7:

   

   Then minced garlic. I ran it through the press. But you can also chop garlic with a knife or grate it on a fine grater. In the absence of fresh garlic, it is quite possible to use garlic powder.

9. Step 8:

   

   Fry everything, stirring, until golden brown. It's about about 5-7 minutes.

10. Step 9:

    

    Add tomato paste. I prefer to use tomato paste of my own production, but you can also take the purchased one, and also replace it with ketchup.

11. Step 10:

    

    Add salt and sugar to taste. Boil until thickened. About 5 minutes. Then remove from the heat.

12. Step 11:

    

    Flip the pasta into a colander, put it on a plate.

13. Step 12:

    

    Pour tomato sauce on top and serve immediately. Bon appetit!
