Pa Pa Pa... Pazzztaaaa

I just love saucy pasta.. who doesn't. This Italian delicacy is one yummy affair, but to make it at home could be one difficult affair.. but not anymore suggested my brother in law. You know the men at my house share equal interest in cooking. So he said he'll cook pasta for all of us this Saturday. He loved the one they served at Domino's and i loved the one they serve at Sweet Chariot Cafe.. It was his job to match both the tastes and cook for all of us.

Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Serves: 7


Ingredients:

1. Store bought pasta shells 1 packet (costs about 99 rupees)
2. Olives  about 2-3 tablespoons (also available at stores, you can use it only if u like it)
3. Vinegar 4-5 tablespoons
4. Onions 3-4 finely chopped
5. Tomatoes 8-9 chopped (more tomatoes means more sauce)
6. Red chilli sauce 5-6 tablespoons
7. Tomato sauce 5-6 tablesppons
8. Water
9. Cheese (optional, you can also use butter)
10. Salt

Method:

1. Half cook the pasta as per instruction on the packet. Make sure it doesn't turn soggy in earlier stage only. Half cook it now and the rest in the sauce.
2. Heat cheese/butter in a saucepan and add onions. Saute till golden brown.
3. Add the vinegar and mix well.
4. Now add the tomatoes and a little bit of salt. Wait till tomatoes turn really tender and mash them. Add a little water and let it boil.
5. Mix in the half cooked pasta shells and add the red chilli sauce, tomato sauce.
6. Add in the remaining salt and cover it up and let it cook for a while.
7. If you feel its too bland you can add in red chilli powder (it becomes more Indianised, but who can eat a bland pasta).

Vary the additions of sauces to meet ur saucy requirements. Serve hot. Garnish with cheese if you love it.
