Quick Marinara and sooo tasty!

Classic marinara with my twist. Delicious and so simple to make. Try it with a pasta that you never had before. My personal favourite is parpadelle.

Start of with one large pan and swirl in some olive oil, about tablespoon.

Add the following:
2 large or 3 small shallots diced
4 cloves garlic chopped.

Saute until soft and add some sea salt and fresh ground pepper. If you like it spicy like me add some crushed red pepper flakes or chop one fresh red chili.

In a bowl squish with your hands two cans whole organic Roma tomatoes until desired consistency. I like mine with a little chunky.

Dice 2 fresh really ripe tomatoes and add to the onions and garlic
Stir until they start to break down and add the crushed canned tomatoes.

Stir and simmer for 20 minutes and add salt and pepper to taste.

Cook your noodles until El dente.

To present the dish, get a large pasta bowl, heated if you can, throw it in the microwave for a minute and that will do the trick.

Ladle 1/2 sauce on bottom, add fresh pasta, about a cup and use tongs so you twist the pasta on the plate, it looks great that way. Ladle one cup of sauce on top of the noodles.

Top off with fresh basil, swirl olive oil and for those who love cheese, shave Parmesan over the top.
