Pasta - Indian style

Ingredients:

Pasta – I prefer Barilla sea shell shaped pasta
Pasta sauce – prefer RAGU brand, all the flavors are good, the best I liked till now – tomato-onion-basil
Olive oil – 2tbsp
Medium sized onion – 1
Hot sauce – ¼ tsp
Dry basil leaves – ¼ tsp
Salt and pepper to taste

Making Pasta:

In a pasta pot or regular big pot bring 4 qts water to rapid boil, add 2 tsp salt.
Now add 2 cups pasta, cook until almost soft and drain it.
In a pan add the olive oil, jeera (for Indian touch), chopped onions. Now add the cooked pasta and the pasta sauce approximately ½ cup (if u like pasta to be more saucy, u can add more), very little salt. Stir everything be careful not to break the sea shells…. This version is for kids.

Notes:

For us adults or people who like spicy food the alteration is --- after adding pasta sauce add some hot sauce(I prefer SRIRACHA), ground pepper and some dry basil to top it off.

HINT: Try different fun shaped pastas for kids, the crazier the shapes, the more they will love it.
