- We spread 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. l creamy and as you melt mix.
- Add 1 tbsp. l tomato paste and mix quickly. At this stage, you need to act very quickly, since tomato paste can burn or caramelize, and we need it to mix completely with vegetable and butter.
- Next, you need to boil the pasta. Any pasta made from durum wheat is suitable for this recipe. Pour into a pan about 1-1.5 liters of water, salt to taste and bring to a boil. You can immediately boil water in a teapot and pour into a pan. Pour pasta into boiling water and cook for 5-10 minutes according to the manufacturer's recommendations indicated on the package. To prevent the pasta from sticking during cooking, you can add a little vegetable oil to the water. We discard the finished pasta into a colander and let the liquid drain. If desired, we rinse under running water, but this is not necessary, and you can skip this item.
- We spread the pasta in a frying pan for frying and mix thoroughly. Fry pasta for about 1 minute over medium heat. At the very end, if necessary, sprinkle with salt. You can also add your favorite seasonings. If desired, you can sprinkle the finished dish with grated cheese and hold for 1-2 minutes under a closed lid.
- Serve hot. Enjoy your meal.
