                                                                                         How to MAKE:

Pasta Pomodoro

                First cook the pasta with a few drops of olive oil, bay leaves, a clove of garlic, a piece of cinnamon, and salt. In a pan, heat the olive oil and then add the onions to it. When the onions start to sweat, chop up the garlic and add it to the pan. Sauté it well and once the onions start to soften up, add the tomato puree. Do not wait for the onions to start caramelizing. After adding the puree, cook it for about 5 minutes until the raw tomato smell is gone. Now chop up the boiled tomatoes, and add it to the pan and turn down the flame. Cook this mixture for a while until the tomatoes start giving out their liquid, and once this happens, turn up the flame and add the balsamic vinegar. Now sauté until everything gets mixed well together and then add the oregano, freshly ground pepper, crushed red chillies, and the basil and the parsley leaves. Now stir it well and add the cup of water. Keep stirring until the sauce becomes thick and then add the salt to taste. Finally, grate some cinnamon into the sauce and stir well. Cook this until the sauce achieves required consistency and then take off the flame. Pour the sauce over the previously cooked pasta, and garnish with parsley and grated cinnamon. Serve Hot!
