maqroll Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I've devised a new pasta sauce method that is perfect for quick weeknight preparation. Squeeze half a tube of tomato paste into a sauce pan and cook it on medium heat for 2 minutes. Save the water you've cooked half a package of pasta in and add half a cup of it to the paste to create a sauce. Add cracked pepper, salt, garlic powder and chili flakes. Dump the pasta in there and stir. Top with Parmigiano. Literally better than any fancy jarred sauce at the supermarket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that half a tea cup or half a sports direct mug because the difference could be about half a litre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken pathia, fried rice and a garlic naan. Bloody lovely! When I was younger I briefly worked in an Indian restaurant , it was my job to make the breads … they were really secretive about the ingredients , so much so that they made me sign a naan disclosure agreement 1 1 2 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
