🍝 Quick and Cheap Pasta Recipe 🍝

🕒 Total Time: Approximately 15 minutes
👨‍🍳 Servings: 1

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Spaghetti or your desired pasta
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4-5 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup concentrated tomato paste
  • Water
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Nutmeg, a pinch
  • Mustard, a dash
  • Lemon juice, a squeeze

🔪 Instructions:

  1. 🌊 Begin by bringing a pot of water to a boil, seasoned with salt and a chicken stock cube, adding a tablespoon of butter for richness.

  2. 🍝 Once the water reaches a rolling boil, introduce the spaghetti or your preferred pasta, allowing it to cook for approximately 10-15 minutes until al dente. Test for doneness by sampling a strand – it should be tender but not mushy.

  3. 🍜 Carefully drain the pasta, using a fork to gently stir it and letting it dry for about a minute. This simple preparation yields a delightful base.

  4. 🍲 Now, let’s craft a delicious sauce: initiate the sauce-making process about 5 minutes after the pasta starts boiling. In a separate pan, heat oil or olive oil.

  5. 🧅 Add finely chopped onion to the heated oil. Sauté until the onion turns transparent and soft, creating a savory foundation for the sauce.

  6. 🍅 Introduce concentrated tomato paste, approximately 4-5 tablespoons, into the pan. Stir gently, ensuring the heat is set to low to avoid burning.

  7. 🥄 Pour in half a cup of water, stirring once again to create a harmonious blend. This forms the base of the sauce, ready to be elevated with flavors.

  8. 🧂 Season the sauce with salt, pepper, nutmeg, mustard, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Allow it to simmer for a couple of minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.

  9. 🌿 Congratulations! You’ve just crafted a basic, flavorful sauce. If you’re following a vegan diet, generously pour the sauce over the pasta for a tasty dish.

  10. 🌮 For non-vegans, the possibilities are endless! Elevate your pasta experience by adding canned tuna, mushrooms, fish leftovers, meat, ham, or any ingredient of your preference. The beauty lies in the versatility of this sauce, providing a unique taste with every variation.

  11. 🍽️ Serve and savor your quick and cheap pasta creation. Whether you choose the vegan route or indulge in meaty additions, this recipe guarantees a satisfying and customizable dining experience.

👩‍🍳 Chef’s Tip: Experiment with different ingredients to personalize your sauce and keep the dining experience exciting. The sauce serves as a canvas for culinary creativity, allowing you to tailor it to your taste preferences.
