Easy Sphaghetti with tomato sauce

Here, I am back after really long break from my blog with a soooper easy recipe, even if you are running out of time. Its really quick and can be made with a very few ingredients. You may add the vegetables of your choice as well with it.


Ingredients
Sphaghetti - a bunch
Tomatoes - 2 large
Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
Salt - a pinch
Garlic - 2 cloves
Mixed Herbs
Black pepper (freshly ground) - if wanted to taste

Recipe

Take sphaghetti and break and put it in boiling water in a pot. Break into half if you want.

Add 1 tablespoon oilive oil and some salt to the boiling sphaghetti. Let it boil until done and strain.


While the spheghetti getting done prepare the tomato sauce.

Preparing Tomato sauce :

Cut tomatoes into pieces and grind it in a mixer grinder to make a puree.

Heat oil in a pan and add crushed / finely chopped garlic to it.

Add tomato puree and let it boil, add mixed herbs and let it simmer for 2 minutes. This boiling tomato mixture changes color and becomes a bit darker that is a sign that its properly cooked.



Now add the boiled spaghetti to this tomato sauce mixture ans your lunch is ready to be served hot. !!


You might want to keep it in the lunchbox and that is sure to make their day. My kids are a bit fussy when pepper is added to this, apparently that makes their spaghetti a bit spicy for them. Though, if I am having it for a dinner I make sure to add freshly ground pepper to this and  a portion of salad. That makes a perfect dinner to me. 

Hope you all like this !!
