This delicious recipe is given my friend sreevidya.

Ingredients:

200gms Pasta
8-9 tomatoes ,chopped (if using less tomato, use tomato puree or tomato sauce)
3 - 4 Cloves Garlic, Chopped
3 - 4 Basil Leaves, Chopped
4 - 5 Fresh Oregano, Chopped
1tsp Chili Flakes
1tbsp Olive/Sunflower oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

For cooking the Pasta :
Boil the pasta with 25gms Salt. Cook for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain the Pasta and rinse in fresh cold water. Keep aside
For the Sauce :
Heat Oil add Garlic and saute.Now add the chopped tomatoes (and if using puree, that too), Salt and pepper and cook until the sauce becomes thick. To this add the Basil,oregano & the chilli flakes.


Once the sauce is ready , add the pasta.Toss gently. Serve hot.


Note:
If you have any sachets of oregano/chilli flakes from any pizza parlour, that helps a lot in this dish :) and for a healthy one, try the Wholewheat Pasta.
