Tomato Cheese Pasta Recipe | Easy Pasta Recipes

Last Modified: April 17, 2015

I dont make much pasta at home. Because whenever i do, it becomes a meal for one. Mr.P loathes pasta and i dont make it often because of this. I prefer sharing my meal with everyone around. You must have figured out that much cos of this blog and all, ya know.

On Thursdays, Mr.P fasts and on those days, if i have a lot of time on my hands, i do make an effort in cooking up a meal that only i enjoy. While most of the Thursdays are spent eating just rice and some curry, when i m really in a mood, i do make a pasta or some egg fried rice to please my tummy. This pasta happened like that. I followed no particular recipe. Just went with whatever i felt like and it tasted like so many good things at once- cheese, tomatoes, basil and finally, pasta!

Homemade Pasta Sauce 1 recipe
Olive oil 2 tsp

Once the pasta is done, drain water and rinse under cold water.
Add a teaspoon of oil and mix well. Set aside.
Heat a pan with oil.
Saute the chopped onions till golden brown.
Now,add the sauce and cook for about 3 mins.
Add the cooked pasta and salt next and mix gently.
