Pasta of your choice (4 Key)



Here is a 30 minute dish that every family can make. Making a pasta for a family is really easy. All you need are some key ingredients. What i am going to give is a Tomato base sauce and from experience there are just a few things to note. What i will provide is principles that you can use to make any pasta you like

I found that Pasta are all the same, the taste difference is the herbs and ingredient you want to use.As long as you keep the steps simple

Key ingredients

4 main

1. Pasta
2. Meat - either chicken pieces, seafood or beef mince.
3. Herbs - you can use basil, oregano
4. Canned tomato

Side ingredient

1. BBQ sauce
2. Salt and pepper
3. Chicken stock
4. Parmesan Cheese


Noodle
Cooking the noodle - simply boil a pot of water, put in some salt - the trick is to taste the water it should taste like sea water. Once the water boil, put in the noodle. Sitr and check, cook it to slightly al-dante

Pasta Sauce
- At the same time we can prepare the pasta sauce,
- Normally i use 1 can of diced tomatoe
- Pour in some chicken stock, white wine
- I then put in some herbs : you can use oregano, basil, mint, thyme, garlic, onions. ( The combo is up to you) : Mix and match to your taste
- For the little difference i normally would use a little BBQ sauce

Meat - I would fry the meat separately and then at the last minute stir in the meat with the sauce. I would use parmesan cheese.

The final - touch stir in the pasta, add some cheese, pepper to taste. All these only 30 minutes.
