Whole wheat pasta in Tomato sauce

I never used to like pasta. But accidentally one day I happened to eat pasta from a famous outlet. Thats it... it was love at first sight. I loved the way they cooked the pasta and the tanginess from tomato was to die for. From then on pasta is a regular at my place. Recently we switched to whole wheat pasta for guilt free indulgence. Here is my quick and simple recipe of whole wheat pasta in tomato sauce... happy cooking...

Ingredients:

Whole wheat pasta - 200 gms
Tomatoes - 6 ripe and red
Sweet corn - 1/2 cup
Green capsicum - 1 
Garlic - 10 - 15 pods
Chilli flakes  - 1 tbsp
Mixed herb - 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
Oil - 1 tbsp

Method:

In a kadhai/pan, heat oil. Add finely chopped garlic.

Now add tomato puree. Cook until raw smell goes away.

 Now add red chilli flakes, mixed herb and mix well.

Add sweet corn, capsicum and cook till done. Add salt.

Finally add pasta, mix well. Check for seasoning. Cook for about 3 - 5 minutes.

In about a litre of water add salt and few drops oil and bring it to boil. Add wholewheat pasta and cook until al dente. Al dente means that the pasta is cooked but firm, when you bite it, there should be resistance but not raw. Once cooked, strain the pasta and run them through cold water and keep aside.
Blance tomatoes and peel the skin. Once cooled make tomato puree.

In a kadhai/pan, heat oil. Add finely chopped garlic. Now add tomato puree. Cook until raw smell goes away. Now add red chilli flakes, mixed herb and mix well. Add sweet corn, capsicum and cook till done. Add salt. Finally add pasta, mix well. Check for seasoning. Cook for about 3 -5 minutes.
Serve hot with a garnish of grated cheese.
