Pasta with Arrabiata Sauce
Mushroom Soup:
Saute peeled garlic, onions and mushrooms. Add 1/4th cup barley and 8 cups of water and simmer for 40 mins. Then puree the soup and add salt and bring it to a boil. Fry finely cut garlic pieces in olive oil till golden brown and use it for garnishing.
Pasta Recipe:
Cook whole wheat pasta with salt
Drain and keep it aside.
Blanch Tomatoes and peel skin.
For Arrabiata Sauce:
Fry Peeled Garlic in Olive Oil along with red chillies and grind with blanched tomatoes and fresh basil leaves and salt.
In a pan add olive oil and sliced onions and add the arrabiata sauce and cooked pasta and bring it to a boil. Remove from fire and add Oregano Seasoning.
As I made it for dinner time, I did not add grated cheese. It tasted good even without the cheese. And it is healthy too as it is whole wheat.
These are not cooked specially but a daily routine cooking for my family. In most recipes I have mentioned which oils I have used. In general, i try to use 3 to 4 types of oils in daily cooking which include Rice Bran, Gingelly and Olive Pomace. I use Coconut oil and Ghee to the barest minimum.
