Penne Arrabiata - Vegetarian Version

Living in middle of cooking legends at my home failed to pressurize me and the chef in me woke up today. So I decided to make the yummiest Penne Arrabiata in the world and I felt super proud of it till I spoke to my sister.  (Well,  one of the other reasons was that eons ago, I bought the pasta box and if I had not acted sooner, it may have soon hit it's expiry date).

Anyway, I called up my sister to share my accomplishment and she went ROFLing over to say.."but didi..it's the easiest dish to make in the entire world".

(While I do agree with her,) I will still not let my sense of pride go down and hence am sharing the version of Penne Arrabiata.

Ingredients:

• 250 gm Penne (Al dente) - I used wholewheat penne
• 6 Tomatoes (medium size, blanched, roughly chopped)
• 3 Onions (Finally chopped)
• 1/2 Cup Tomato Puree
• 3 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 4 Cloves Garlic (can put 1-2 more too, if you really like garlic)
• 1 Tbsp Oregano
• 1 Tbsp Red Chilli Flakes
• 1 Tbsp Parsley
• Half cup Parsley leaves
• Salt (to taste, I used 1 or 2 Tbsp may be. Ok put whatever! )

Method

1. Boil penne in plenty of boiling water with 2 Tbsp salt till al dente (I did that for approx 10 mins in the penne I had). Drain and set aside to cool.While it's getting cooled, you may want to add 1 Tsp of olive oil and toss very lightly so that the penne doesn't stick with each other
2. Heat olive oil in pan. Put garlic and saute it for 30 secs
3. Put red chilli flakes and onions (on medium heat). Cook till onions are translucent
4. Keep the flame on medium heat. Put tomatoes, tomato puree, salt, oregano and parsley powder. Let this cook for 8-10 mins. Add parley leaves (save some for garnish). For fans of cheese,you can also add grated Parmesan cheese
5. Add penne slowly and toss lightly. 
6. Remove from heat, add parsley leaves as garnish (and more Parmesan - actually you can add as much as you want)  and serve hot!
