Tomato Pasta

Ingredients

Boiled pasta: 2 cups (I use Penne Rigate for this recipe)

Diced tomatoes: 4-5 tomatoes

Garlic cloves: 3-4

Chopped onion: 1 cup

Water: ½ cup

Bay leaf: 1

Sugar: ½ tsp

Basil leaves: 4-5

Salt: To taste

Olive oil: 2-3 tsp

Method:
Boil tomatoes, 2 cloves of chopped garlic, ¾ cup of onion, bay leaf, salt and sugar with ½ cup of water. When tomatoes become soft, remove from the flame, cool and then grind to a puree and set aside.

Take a pan, heat oil and add the remaining onion and garlic. Saute them well and add the tomato puree. Cook till it reduces to half the amount. Add basil leaves and stir well. Add the cooked pasta and toss gently before serving hot.
