Simple and fast pasta and sauce ~

This sauce is my  ( QUICKIE ) , Yes that's what i call it , quick and damn good !!

Large can plumb tomatoes
half a bunch fresh Italian parsley
3 cloves minced garlic
1 hot chili pepper ( optional )
2 tablespoons tomato paste
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
half cup Romano cheese ( or your favorite Italian cheese )

Heat large deep frying pan , add 4 tablespoons olive oil , add minced garlic,simmer for a few min till garlic is golden , add Italian parsley , add  chili pepper,  1 tablespoon of butter, let all this simmer on a low heat for about 5 to 7 min , this gets the flavour in the oil for you .

Add the full can of plumb tomatoes to the pan, stir them in real good and simmer covered for 30 min.
add 1 more tablespoon of olive oil ,
now add the cheese of choice , and 2 tablespoons of tomato paste,  keep stirring until the cheese melts in , it will clump up if you don't stir often enough .

Cook what ever type of past you want for this Delicious  and very quick tasty sauce .
Now any good wop knows to take some of the pasta sauce to mix with the freshly cooked and drained noodles ,stir it into the noodles to coat them with the sauce ,then pour some excess over it all when it is on the plate,now the taste is on every little noodle :}

Just to let you know the cheese you add plays a huge roll in the taste of the sauce , choose wisely,i like the Romano , its a light one ,but still enough bite to matter !
You can also use this as a Strong base for most of you sauces ,add meat to it ,add veggies to it, and now becomes a real filling meal but more time to cook ................
Enjoy  it`s worth the effort ,very very tasty sauce .
