Ingredients
  

For Boiling Pasta:

  • Water as required
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Oil
  • 250 gms Macaroni Pasta gluten-free

For Tomato Alfredo Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • 1 medium Onion chopped
  • 1 tbsp Ginger-garlic paste
  • 4 medium Tomato pureed
  • Salt
  • ¾ tsp Oregano
  • ¾ tsp Red chili flakes
  • ⅓ cup Heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Boil some water in a skillet, add salt and oil, and cook the pasta for 7-8 minutes till al dante.
  • Reserve some pasta water and strain out the rest.
  • In a skillet, melt butter, add onion, and ginger-garlic paste, and saute them for a minute on high flame till the onions are translucent.
  • Make a tomato puree using the blender, and add it to the skillet. Add salt, and cook till the butter has separated from the puree.
  • Now add oregano, red chili flakes, and heavy cream. Mix them well. Add reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
  • Now combine the pasta with the sauce and finish it off by adding some shredded mozzarella cheese.
  • Your pasta with tomato alfredo sauce is ready.

Notes

  • Mixing alfredo sauce with tomato sauce: This method is a longer one, but the result is so worth it! Make the alfredo sauce and the marina sauce separately, and then combine them. Alfredo sauce mixed with tomato sauce is richer, creamier, and more delicious, but not time-friendly or efficient.
  • Make it herby: Herbs play a big role when making pasta. So grab some parsley, thyme, or basil from your garden and dump them in for freshness.
  • Protein-rich meal: Don't shy away from adding some cooked shredded chicken or fish in the sauce. They add an extra layer of depth to the flavor. Plus, they elevate the protein which is never a problem.
  • Veggie loaded: Just like meat, incorporating some roasted veggies like capsicum, sweet corn, or beans can make it into a wholesome meal, overloaded with nutrients.
 
How to store:
In the fridge: This sauce can last for up to a week by being stored in an air-tight container.
In the freezer: If you're looking to store the sauce for a longer duration, you can freeze it for at least 2 months.
Reheating: Thaw the sauce overnight if frozen, then reheat it in a pan or skillet. You can also add water to thin out the sauce and regain some consistency.
