Pastaaa

After a long day at work I thought me and my wife deserved a good dinner so I decided to pick up a recipe from the net to surprise my wife with her favorite kind of food.....pastaaaa! Of course with a lot of tomatoes. So I decided to try out something which I have never tried before "The Arrabiata Sauce Pasta". Here is the recipe I tried.

Ingredients:
Pasta any kind you want 200 gms, boiled in water with a little salt
Tomatoes 5 medium sized, pureed
Drizzle of olive oil
Basil 6-7 leaves, chopped
Thyme 1 tsp, chopped
Chilli flakes 1 tsp
Button Mushrooms 6 medium sized, sliced
Bell Peppers 1/2 cup, chopped
Garlic 4 cloves, chopped
Cheese 2 tbsp
Salt and pepper
Chives to garnish

Method:
1. Heat oil and lightly fry the garlic till a wonderful aroma starts coming.
2. Add the tomato puree.
3. Add chopped bell peppers,basil, thyme, chilli flakes, salt and pepper, mix well and simmer it for atleast 10-12 mins.
4. On another pan fry some chopped mushrooms. Add some salt. Mushrooms cook well on a high flame otherwise they release moisture and become soggy.Hence I decided to cook them separately and when done I added them in the sauce.
5. Add the cooked pasta stir well.
6. Add shredded cheese and stir well.
7. Garnish with some grated cheese and some chives.

Enjoy :)
