Stir well and simmer on medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes until the tomatoes break down into a rich sauce.4.Toss and emulsify:Use reserved pasta water for texture.Add the cooked pasta directly into the sauce. Pour in a splash of the reserved pasta water (about 2 to 3 tablespoons) and toss vigorously over low heat for 1 to 2 minutes so the sauce coats the noodles evenly.5.Garnish and serve:Serve immediately.Turn off the heat. Top with freshly torn basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese before serving hot. #PASTA #RECIPE #PASTARECIPE #FOOD #EASYPASTARECIPE #INDIANFOOD
