Creamy Tomato Pasta. Recipe ↓

■ INGREDIENTS
• ripe tomatoes – 4
• garlic – 2-3 cloves
• olive oil – 3 tbsp
• salt & black pepper – to taste
• thyme – ½ tsp
• red pepper powder (or chili) – ½ tsp
• curd cheese / cream cheese / ricotta – 200 g
• milk or cream – ½ cup
• pasta – 250 g (half a pack)
• ketchup – 1 tbsp (optional; for color & sweetness)

Optional:
• fresh basil
• parmesan
• chili flakes

■ HOW TO COOK:
1. With a knife, make a shallow X cut on the bottom of each tomato (or simply cut off the top). This helps the skin come off later.

2. Heat olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat. Place the whole tomatoes directly into the oil, cut-side down.

3. Cover with a lid and cook on medium-low heat for 8-12 minutes, until: the tomatoes soften and wrinkle, the skins start separating

4. Remove the tomato skins easily with tongs or a fork. Use a spoon or spatula to crush the tomatoes directly in the pan.

5. Add minced garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and red pepper powder. Let everything simmer for a few minutes.

6. Add the curd / cream cheese and mix until the sauce becomes smooth.

7. Pour in cream (best option) or milk and stir well. You can add 1 tbsp of ketchup for extra color and a touch of sweetness.

8. Cook the pasta in salted water, drain it, and add it straight to the sauce.

9. Mix well, let it simmer for 1-2 minutes, and serve hot.
