Desi Pasta
Yield: 4 people
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.
