Tomato Pasta | Red Sauce Pasta | Pasta in Red Sauce

Tomato Pasta or Red sauce pasta is a perfect breakfast idea and a simplest recipe. Pastas are tossed in a quick tomato sauce and enhanced with the flavor of herbs. It is quick to make and uses really simple ingredients. It will surely put a smile of kid’s face. It could be a quick and easy dinner recipe. This recipe  doesn’t need lots of veggies.

Here I use tomatoes and capsicum but red peppers, cabbage and green beans would be great additions too. Feel free to change the herbs and spices. I have added the seasoning and black pepper powder which is a lovely combination too. Because of using only tomatoes, red pasta will be very tangy so here is no need to add any vinegar or lemon juice.

To cook this pasta, we need red sauce. This pasta sauce has just four main ingredients onion, garlic, crushed tomatoes, and sugar. I have used here fusilli pasta but you may use any type of pasta. Pastas are available in different shapes and sizes like penne, macaroni, farfalle, rotini or spaghetti. You can also use whole wheat flour made pastas. You may add cheese or cream to make it creamier.

Just for a change prepare tomato pasta for dinner and enjoy with your family.
