Rigatoni Pomodoro

Last night I decided to make some dinner. (Sorry I forgot to take pictures!)
This picture is borrowed from flickr! It is a close representation of what I made last night. HAHA



Pretty basic sauce and pretty tasty too!

Pomodoro Sauce

  • diced tomatoes
  • diced mushrooms
  • tomato paste
  • fresh basil/or dried is fine too
  • tad of chili for that kick!
  • olive oil
  • salt + pepper to taste

    and of course, my favourite addition to any pasta dish CHEESE! I used both Kraft Cheese and smoke cheddar for that extra smokiness!

    PASTA
    Boil pasta as directed on the package, then boil boil! Remember to add a tad of salt for funzzies! Cook pasta to al dente (a tad undercooked) Remove pasta from heat source and let it sit in the pot for a minute. Then drain!

    SAUCE
    While your pasta is boiling away, allow pan to heat with some olive oil,then add tomato paste, add a bit of water to dilute if desired. Then add the fresh tomatoes, and mushrooms. keep at medium heat to avoid burning your cute mushrooms. Add basil, salt + pepper, chili. Stir! Add cheese to your concoction! mmm!

    With your al dente pasta, transport it into your sauce pan! Stir, stir, and add grated cheese to the equation! Stir for a bit on medium/low heat, make sure your undercook pasta become sexy edible! Then turn off stove and serve in yuppy square plates! YAY.

    *Add vegetables at your own discretion. I didn't have any in the fridge :(
