EASY TOMATO PASTA RECIPE FOR KIDS
Ingredients:
Pasta (boiled with little salt) – 1 cup
Tomatoes – 2 medium
Onions – 1, finely diced
Crushed garlic – 6 cloves
Crushed red chillies – 3
Pepper powder – 1 tsp
Capsicum – half
Oil – 1 tbsp
How to Make Simple Tomato Pasta:
1. Saute onions and garlic in oil till golden brown.
2. Add pepper and crushed chillies and fry for a min.
3. Make a puree out of the tomatoes and add to the above mixture, along with the capsicum. Boil for 3 mins.
4. Add the boiled pasta and keep on fire for another 2-3 mins. Add salt to taste.
It was slightly bland, but it was great for dinner. If you have any suggestions in making pasta dishes more flavourful, do let me know. Adding cheese would be a last option, since its not too healthy (though I love cheese!).
Nags, the pasta looks yummy!! bet you had fun eating it:) btw, where’s your peach entry girl??
Pasta is certainly one of the most versatile dishes! You could do like a gazillion things with it!
Nags!
This looks yummy! Hmm … you could puree some basil with the tomatoes, maybe even some walnuts? Or even add a couple more roma or vine tomatoes for more juice?
Hey, you should submit this for presto pasta nights!
nags…..wow….what a pleasant looking dish…:-) I am seeing u after a long time dear….Not seen these days…busy..?
Love the paste dish. It looks so welcoming.
Hey nags don’t worry if u can’t post new things. I am always home and still i don’t post things always.

Happy Vijadashami.
I would also add lil peanut powder to bring the crunch in it…hey N that Pasta plate looks inviting!
Looks good N… For increasing the flavor, you could try making it more “saucy”.. Adding cream to the sauce, or sprinkling cheese will definitely do the trick 😀 but those two options come with the extra lbs. 🙂
That is a perfect comforting food 🙂
Would love to have it, after a long tiring day!!
