Moments in My Life

Like I’ve said earlier, I don’t know what to make for my boy to eat. Today I came up with this pasta recipe with home made marinara sauce (tomato sauce).

You will need: Red tomatoes (1 or 2 depending on size), a pot of water, penne pasta, minced garlic, fresh button mushroom (optional)

Instructions:

1. Remove tomato skin -  wash the tomato while boiling a pot of water.  When water boiling, put in the tomato.  About 5 - 10 minutes, you will see cracking on the tomato.  Turn off the heat.  Remove the tomato.  Cool it before peeling off the skin.
2. Use a blender (I use magic bullet) and purée the tomato into sauce.
3. Bring the sauce to boil. Add salt and sugar as needed.  Set aside.
4. Boil some penne (I used a mountain full 1/2 cup).  I over-boil this step as I need the pasta to be as soft as possible.  Set aside.
5. Sauté the minced garlic on a wok (with a little oil). 
6. Add the marinara sauce.
7. Wait till it boiling again, add in the penne pasta. 
8. Turn off heat. 
9. OPTIONAL: Sauté some mince garlic.  When is fragrant, add in sliced button mushrooms.  Sauté until the mushrooms are soft.  Add salt if needed.
10. Use kitchen utility scissors to cut the penne shorter.  Serve it to the little boss. Mine wallup all!
