Ingredients

For Pasta

  • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat pasta (I used penne)
  • Salt to taste
  • 4-5 cups water for boiling pasta

Marinara Sauce

  • 1-2 cups Homemade Marinara Sauce or store bought

Instructions

  • Follow my recipe on my blog for "Homemade Marinara Sauce".
  • Boil water and salt in a large pot.
  • Add the pasta and let it boil for 10-12 minutes. To test if it's cooked, pasta should cut easily.
  • Remove from heat and strain it. Keep it aside.
  • Heat the same pot and add marinara sauce. Bring it to a boil. Now add pasta and mix well.
  • Remove from heat and transfer into a serving bowl. Garnish with Parmesan (optional). Enjoy!

Notes

  1. Follow my recipe for Homemade Marinara Sauce
  2. The water for cooking pasta should be salty to taste.
  3. You can add your choice of veggies or protein. If adding, sauté them before adding the sauce.
