Spicy Tomato Pasta

Instructions

1. 1

   Begin by preparing the pasta dough. Mix 200g of maida with a pinch of salt and enough water to form a smooth dough. Knead well and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Roll out the dough into thin sheets and cut into desired pasta shapes. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a pan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

4. 4

   Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

5. 5

   Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they start to break down and form a sauce.

6. 6

   Stir in the chilli flakes and oregano, and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes.

7. 7

   Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.

8. 8

   Combine the cooked pasta with the spicy tomato sauce, tossing well to coat the pasta evenly.

9. 9

   Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or grated cheese if desired.
