Yield: 4 people
Author: Shayma Saadat

Ingredients

  • 400 g / 14oz pasta I adore Garofalo spaghettini no. 4⁣
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced⁣
  • 75 ml / ⅓ cup olive oil fave @maisonorphee ⁣
  • ½ tsp turmeric⁣
  • 1 tsp @diasporaco’s Biryani Masala⁣
  • 250 ml / 1 cup tomato sauce ⁣
  • 1 tsp sea salt ⁣
  • ½ tsp crushed red chillies⁣
  • A block of Parmesan freshly grated⁣
  • A handful of fresh cilantro coarsely chopped⁣

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add spaghettini and cook according to package instructions (I like it al dente.) Reserve 1 cup of pasta cooking water, and drain pasta.
  • Place a large skillet on medium heat and add olive oil. When oil is hot, add garlic and sauté for 2 minutes, or till fragrant and golden along the edges (careful it doesn’t burn).
  • Add turmeric and Biryani Masala and give it a whirl. Tip in tomato sauce, and add salt, and crushed red chillies.
  • Raise heat; the tomato sauce will sputter. Add pasta to skillet, mix to coat with the sauce and oil.
  • Add cooking water and cook over medium-high heat, till the water is absorbed.
  • Enjoy with grated parmesan and coriander. ⁣
