Spaghetti in Red Sauce Recipe

 

 

Easy and Quick Recipe of Spaghetti in Red Sauce. I don’t like complicated cooking. I love to keep my recipes simple and quick most of the times. This Red Sauce and Spaghetti recipe is one of those simple and quick cooking recipes. I make this often at home for my kids.

 

I always prepare the pasta in Olive Oil but you can use any refined oil of your choice for this recipe. It is extremely easy to prepare this Red Sauce and my kids love having the Pasta in this Sauce. Though they also like Pasta in White Sauce but most preferred at home is this one.
All you need is few tomatoes, onion, mushrooms, garlic paste, dried herbs (parsley & oregano) or fresh basil leaves, olive oil and parmesan cheese for topping your Spaghetti. Doesn’t it sound super easy. I am sure many of us normally have all these in our kitchen most of the times. So why wait, let’s get going.
