Pasta with tomato sauce.

(In Portuguese)


Weeknight pasta, made by four hands, really simple, just with tomato sauce and red pepper.
We used the tomatoes bought at feira da água branca, and it came out excellent!
I inspired myself in Pim's sauce, and tought it's way tastier than the one I usually make.



When I got home, first thing was to drop my purse.
Second thing was to put a kettle of water to boil.
Meanwhile I organized the kitchen, washed 1/2kg tomatoes, and cut crosses on their bottoms.
I put the tomatoes in boiling water for 1 minute, taking them out directly into a bowl with cold water. My boy peeled and chopped the garlic, and I peeled the tomatoes, pulling it from the cross cut.
While he diced the tomatoes, without discarding the seeds, I sauted the garlic in 6 tablespoons olive oil.
I transfered the tomatoes to the pan, threw in a pinch of salt, and let it cook, in medium heat, lidded, until the tomato flesh came undone (about 10 minutes).
I cooked for 5 minutes more, without the lid, to let the liquid evaporate
a little bit, and it was ready.


We served it with fusilli, chopped white cheese, and red pepper.
Great!
