🍝 Pasta al Pomodoro / Tomato Pasta
Yesterday I was really craving pasta and I wanted it fast! The problem is… I only had pasta and some leftover tomato sauce in the fridge.
So, I did a quick Google search and found Pasta Al Pomodoro, and then I kinda just… improvised. Used what I had and made my own version. It was so good that it ended up being the only thing I ate all day. I knew I had to save this recipe and share it with you so here it is!
Ingredients
3 tbsp olive oil
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium white onion chopped
3 cups tomato sauce
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp dried oregano
diced cheese (as much as you want)
Pasta
Instructions
- Heat olive oil over medium heat
- Cook onion until soft
- Add garlic and cook until fragrant
- Pour in tomato sauce and stir
- Add salt, pepper, sugar, dried oregano and cheese
- Taste and adjust
- Reduce heat to low
- Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens
- Add sauce to cooked pasta
And that’s it! This little pasta turned out way better than I expected. Sitting down with it, I just felt… happy. I don’t know, maybe it’s the fact that I made it all by myself. It definitely fed my soul. 👩🍳✨
