| 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!
