Easy Pasta
This is the 1st
Recipe of Mr. Welsh’s Class Cooks 2006-2007 November
2, 2006
Ingredients
2 lbs fresh plum tomatoes diced (or 1 large can of
organic diced tomatoes)
2 cloves of garlic minced
1 red onion minced
3-4 Tbsp olive oil
pepper and salt to taste 1 teaspoon sugar.
1 package of your favorite kind of pasta – We used
whole wheat organic penne at school.
What to do
In the pot or skillet heat the olive oil and add the
garlic and onion. Stir fry on medium for 10 – 15
minutes taking care not to burn the garlic, until the
onions are properly caramelized. Wash and dice the
tomatoes, add them to the onions, and simmer on
medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes. This will allow the
sauce to thicken a bit. Add the salt, sugar and pepper
to taste. Process the sauce in a blender or a food
processor to make it smooth.
Meanwhile, in a large pot bring a generous amount of
water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta to the boiling
water and cook according to the directions on the
package. If you make your own pasta (which I have
never had the nerve to do), you’ll follow the timing instructions
for that. Rinse the pasta with cold water in a colander, add it to
the sauce and mix it together well. Serve this to all your best friends
whenever you feel
like it!
