medium heat until it turns soft.

simmer for 15 -20 minutes or until the sauce is thick and rich. Stir the sauce
frequently to avoid it from getting burnt. If needed sprinkle little water to
cook the sauce.

When
the sauce is simmering, boil water in a deep sauce pan. Cook the pasta
according to package instructions.
When
the pasta is cooked, drain the water completely. Toss the pasta with 2 tsp of
olive oil.
To
Make Tomato Pasta/Pasta with Tomato Sauce
Add the
tomato sauce prepared to the pasta and stir it really well. Add only required
amount of pasta sauce.
At this
point add more black pepper powder and red chili flakes if needed and mix
thoroughly.
Now the
pasta is ready to be served, garnish with freshly grated cheese and serve it
hot.
I have
not added cheese to the pasta, it is totally optional. If added to the pasta,
it makes it more tasty and delicious.
