Italian Pasta..As It Is..

      
            Currently, I am enjoying the most flavorful  pasta dish i ever had till date..and it has been made by my brother. During his stay in the United States, he has learnt Mexican and Italian Cuisine through his friends. Basically Pasta is an Italian dish and  believe me!! Indian restaurants prepare the most uninspiringly distasteful pasta And you can surely give a miss to sunfeast and maggi pastas too. You would realise that.... once you taste this original Italian Pasta that i am having right now.
                    So my dear friends, I share the same with you here today..
It always the pasta sauce which makes a hell lot of difference to the entire pasta dish. So, here i share the original Italian red sauce recipe.

Ingredients:

For red sauce:
 10 red ripe whole tomatoes
  5 garlic cloves
  1 cup fresh basil leaves
  2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  salt to taste
  italian seasoning/mixed herbs as per taste
  crushed chilli flakes as per taste

 Pack of spaghetti or fusili pasta
 5 cups water (for boiling)
  1 tspn salt
  1 tspn olive oil

                                            

Method:
 1. Boil the water along with salt and oil till the water bubbles vigorously.
 2. Add in the pasta and cook till soft; for almost 10 minutes. Drain and run through cold water. Keep aside.
 3. Heat a saucepan and add the extra virgin olive oil and add the garlic cloves and.  the whole tomatoes and cook till they turn soft and mushy by smashing them often. i.e, for almost half an hour.
 4. Add in the salt, fresh basil leaves, italian seasoning and mix thoroughly till the veggies almost melt into a sauce.
 5. Add in the boiled pasta and cook on medium heat. Give it a good mix and top[ it with crushed chilli flakes and seasononing and serve hot.
