Here are some pasta sauces that you can make at home
1) Aglio E Olio
Aglio E Olio, in simple words, is a sauceless pasta. You require three basic ingredients – olive oil, garlic, and chili flakes. This tastes best with spaghetti, but you can use penne, fusilli or any other pasta shape available easily. Add cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, olives or broccoli if you wish to, though it tastes great as it is. In a hot pan add olive oil and finely chopped garlic, saute it for 1-2 minutes, add chili flakes and the boiled pasta. Use a little bit of the water leftover from the build pasta, in case you feel it is all getting a little dry. Season it with salt according to taste. You can also add sundried tomatoes if you have them at home. Top with lots of virgin olive oil, EVOO is even better.
The best part of an Aglio e olio is you can add or subtract any ingredient according to your preference.
2) The Desi Tadka Pasta a.k.a Macaroni
How can we ever forget the desi macaroni masala we gobbled up as children? A tangy onion and tomato masala with turmeric, salt, and chilies. It is truly an Indian fusion classic that we can never say no to. All you need for this desi tadka pasta are 2 staple vegetables and a few masalas. The pasta shape most associated with this type of pasta sauce is macaroni.
3) Makhani Sauce Baked Pasta
It’s easy, it’s delicious! For this, you would need a few desi ingredients like tomatoes and malai. Yes, malai is a must-have in a makhani sauce kit, in case fresh cream is not available. In a pan add olive oil, chopped garlic, pureed tomatoes, seasoning and malai/cream. Cook till the tomatoes start to leave the oil on the sides. Add the boiled pasta to it. Transfer the pasta to a baking dish, add cheese on top and bake for 5-7 minutes or till the cheese has completely melted.
4) Spinach And Mushroom Sauce
A vibrant spinach and mushroom sauce are not only healthy but super scrumptious too. It requires very little oil and no cream or cheese. Sauté garlic and mushrooms in a pan with a spoon of olive oil. Once done, add spinach puree, season with salt, pepper, oregano, and chili flakes. Add some black olives and cherry tomatoes to increase the color palate. You can eat it as it is or bake it in the oven with some cheese if you can afford the calories.
5) Whole Wheat White Sauce With Atta
Making a white sauce with maida requires constant stirring to avoid lump formation. But when you make a white sauce using whole wheat flour, no constant stirring is required. Just add milk and atta in a coffee shaker. In a pan, sauté garlic in olive oil or butter. Add onions, mushrooms or any other vegetables you like and pour the milk and atta mix. Stir slightly till the sauce thickens. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and chili flakes. Add boiled pasta and you’re just one step away from perfection.
If you are in the mood to cook your pasta from the scratch, then these ideas would come handy; but if you are too lazy to cook, just add some pasta sauce in your pasta along with veggies, and you are good to go.
