Creamy Tomato Pasta Recipe

Creamy tomato pasta is a simple, fresh and healthy dish that can become your standby weeknight dinner.

This red sauce pasta is absolutely delicious and ideal for summers. It’s made with just a few ingredients like fusilli pasta, garlic, onions, tomato puree and few dried herbs. To add a little extra flavour, I have added Maggi magic chicken cubes. If you are vegetarian then you can totally skip it. Serve this tangy and spicy pasta with lots of cheese and butter. I hope you’ll like it.

Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 20 minutes | Total Time: 25 minutes

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt to taste

Cooking Directions:

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium flame. Add chopped garlic. Saute until fragrant.

Then add chopped onions and cook for 2-3 minutes. Onions should soften slightly.

Pour tomato puree and water. Crumble the chicken cubes and add them to the sauce. Season with salt and cook on high flame. After it comes to a boil, lower the flame and cook for 6-7 minutes.

While the sauce is cooking, boil water in a pot. Add salt and pasta. Boil until pasta is al dente.

Add oregano, parsley, chilly flakes and black pepper powder to the sauce. Give it a mix.
