Pasta is such an ingredient which can be cooked with almost everything and tada.... a new dish is born. Well, here is a dish which is actually a traditional pasta cooked in roasted tomatoes and garlic. Though any shape can be used but I have used here fusilli...But I guess spaghetti can also be a good choice.
Ingredients:
Pasta- 500 gms (any choice) boiled with salt and olive oil till al dente(Cook as per the guidelines given in the packet)
Tomatoes- 3 big tomatoes
garlic- 5-6 cloves
lemon Juice- 2 tbsp
salt- as needed
sugar- 1 tsp
basil leaves- a few
coriander leaves- a twig
onions- 2 small, sliced
Prawns- a small packet- if fresh, properly cleaned and deviened, If frozen, properly thawed
Green Bell Pepper- 1 big, chopped in chunks
White wine vinegar- 1 big spoon full
Cherry tomatoes -5-6
Grated parmesan & Cheddar
Olive oil- for stir frying
Recipe:
Cook the pasta in hot boling water with generous amount of salt and oil till all dente and then drain the excess water
In a different frying pan, roast the tomatoes and blend it to paste adding 3 garlic cloves, lemon juice, salt, sugar, basil and coriander leaves till smooth. This is the sauce.
Shallow fry the prawns till pink. In a frying pan add 2 tbs olive oil till hot, add the sliced onions , garlic and green peppers stir fry ....add the prawns to it and stir fry. Add the tomato sauce to it with a big spoon ful of white wine vinegar or rice vinegar , salt and black pepper and let it simmer for some minutes. Add the pasta and stir fry. Your pasta is ready...you can also add omelette to it as I have done...For garnishing add cherry tomatoes and basil.
Sprinkle some grated parmesan and cheddar and serve hot.
Other vegetables as spring onion, French beans, mushroom can also be added to this dish. This is a very basic recipe but very yummy and filling.
Happy Cooking!!!
