Do you enjoy the thick, creamy pasta served at restaurants but find it difficult to replicate the same mouthwatering flavours at home? Worry no more; using the following advice, you can quickly prepare pasta fit for a restaurant in the comfort of your own house, and that too with only a few ingredients.

Follow the step-by-step directions provided below to make the ideal sauces for your pasta, whether it’s Red Sauce, White Sauce, or Pink Sauce.

Red Sauce

Ingredients:

Four tomatoes, one onion, four garlic cloves, one teaspoon each of oregano and red pepper flakes, two tablespoons of tomato ketchup, and one tablespoon of olive oil.

Method

• Set a kettle of water to a boil.
• Meanwhile, make two slits on the bottom of the tomatoes. The slits should be made in the shape of a cross.
• Add the tomatoes to the water once it has boiled furiously. Give them a one-minute blanch. The tomatoes should now be removed rapidly and placed in a dish of ice water. Give them another minute to soak in the ice water.
• The tomato skin will be much simpler to peel as a result of this approach. Simply peel the tomatoes now, then put them in a blender. Create a thick tomato paste by blending.
• Now, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan.
• Along with the chopped onions, add the minced garlic. Sauté them for a few minutes.
• Now add the tomato paste and adjust salt as per taste.
• Cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5 minutes.
• Now add oregano, red chilli flakes, tomato ketchup and give a mix.
• Once the sauce turns a bit glossy, your Red Sauce is ready.

White Sauce

Method:

• Melt butter and olive oil in a pan.
• Add refined flour and keep mixing. Stirring and roasting should continue until the mixture turns golden brown.
• Now, whisk continuously while you add 1 cup of milk to avoid any lumps. Add another cup of milk after the milk begins to thicken.
• Continue blending until the milk thickens and takes on the consistency of sauce.
• Add salt, black pepper powder, a slice of cheese, and then extinguish the flame.
• The cheese slice will quickly melt due to the heat of the sauce.
• White Sauce is now ready to use.

?Pink Sauce

You can adjust the Pink Sauce’s proportions to suit your preferences.
You can blend the two sauces in a 1:1 ratio, or you can add more red or more white sauce depending on which one you like.
