This is another pasta that I recently made for Konda. I didn't want to try the usual way of making the Tomato Macaroni way. In fact, this was my first time cooking with Penne pasta. These had such wonderful texture and looked very pretty after being cooked.
The best part unlike Macaronis didn't get dry after 4 hours of being cooked. And were quick to make and tasty. What else will I ask for! The only upsetting part for me was I ended up making it a little spicy and I was upset until Konda assured me later in the evening that the heat was all gone when she ate it.
Ingredients
1 cup Penne Pasta
1 medium Onions
1/2 tsp Green Chilli Paste
1/4 tsp Ginger Garlic Paste
1/2 cup Tomato Puree
1/2 tsp Red Chilli Powder (opt)
Salt to taste
1 - 2 tsp Oil
Instructions
Boil the penne pasta in 3 times its quantity and drain the water when the pasta is cooked. Keep it aside.
In a nonstick pan, heat the oil. Saute onions till brown, add ginger garlic paste, then green chili paste, fry well.
Then add the tomato puree, salt to taste, if you are using the red chili powder, add now. Combine everything well.
Simmer for 5 mins with lid covered. Then, add the cooked pasta to the sauce and mix well.
Notes
You can also use the ready-made Tomato sauce if you don't have a puree. Red chili powder is optional if your kid doesn't eat much spice.
