Easy Pasta Sauce
This a very easy and tasty pasta sauce. It's good with just pasta, and goes well with a lot of vegetables as well. The quantities of ingredients vary with the amount of pasta, and with your taste preferences.
Olive oil
Garlic cloves
Ripe tomatoes
Salt
Ground black pepper
Fresh cream
Oregano
Additional ingredients, as desired
Finely chop tomatoes or purĂ©e them in a food processorâthis depends on what consistency you want. Chopping gives a chunkier sauce while using purĂ©ed tomatoes yields a smoother sauce.
Grind garlic to paste.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Using a pan with non-stick coating necessitates less oil.
When oil is hot (but not too hot), turn down heat and add garlic paste.
When garlic is golden-brown, add tomatoes.
Tomatoes have to be cooked until doneâthey'll look and smell cooked instead of raw, and will be a deeper, redder colour.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
When tomatoes are almost done, add fresh cream to taste. Cook for about 30 seconds.
