Tomato Basil Pasta
For a quick, easy dinner, try this tomato and basil pasta recipe. And, if you're like me, you might add some black olives and a few red pepper flakes!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup tomato paste
- 1/3 cup cream
- Handful of mushrooms
- 1/2 cup grated carrot
- 2 good handfuls of fresh basil
- 300g of long strip pasta
Method:
Heat pot of water to boiling and add a dash of olive oil. Put in pasta when water is boiling. In another pan, put in tomato paste, carrot, basil and sliced mushrooms.
Let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes. Then, add in cream and stir well. When lightly bubbling, take off stove top. When pasta is bubbling, strain and serve. Pour sauce on top and decorate with thinly chopped basil leaves. Serves 4.
