🥗 Lightning quick pasta dish - in 20 minutes in 1 pot

Want something really quick, filling and indestructible for dinner?
This unique pasta dish is just for you! No cooking school or professional equipment is needed - just a big pan, a little patience and 20 minutes.

🛒 Ingredients (for 2 servings):

• 200 g penne or any dry pasta

• 1 medium onion

• 2 cloves garlic

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 400 g canned peeled tomatoes (or passata)

• 1 teaspoon dried basil

• 1 teaspoon oregano

• Salt, pepper to taste

• 5 dl water or vegetable stock

• 1 handful grated cheese (optional, but recommended)

  🔪 Preparation step by step:

  1. Preparation:
     Peel and chop the onion and garlic.

  2. Steaming:
     Heat the oil in a deep pan or saucepan. Add the onion and fry for 2-3 minutes, then add the garlic.

  3. Pasta + sauce together:
     Pour over the tomatoes, season to taste, then add the dry pasta and water/stock. Mix well!

  4. Cooking:
     Cover and cook over medium heat for about 12-15 minutes, until the pasta is tender and the sauce thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

  5. Serving:
     Sprinkle with cheese and you're ready to eat! Some fresh basil or arugula is great on top.

     💡 Tip for beginners:

     • Don't be alarmed if it looks too thin when cooking - the pasta will absorb the liquid nicely!

     • It's best if you don't have to cook the pasta separately - everything is made together = fewer dishes, faster dinner.

       🔁 Variations:

       • Creamy version: Add a tablespoon of mascarpone or cream at the end.

       • With protein: Throw in cooked chicken breast, tuna or chickpeas.

       • Vegetable version: You can add courgettes, spinach, peppers or mushrooms.
