Jonos Lunch (quick easy pasta)

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

Summary: This recipe originates as something derived from my boss ‘jono’ who used to bring in pasta for lunch most days. This is a quick easy recipe the kids love to eat both hot and cold. It goes along side most other dishes, and is easily customizable.

Ingredients

  • 1 Packet of Pasta (500gm packet)
  • 1 tin of chopped tomatoes (440gm)
  • 1 Tablespoon of sugar (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
  • 1/2 cup Grated cheese/Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Cook the packet of pasta boiling it.
  2. When cooked, mix in the can of chopped tomatoes, sugar, and cumin.
  3. Sprinkle cheese over the top.
  4. Microwave for 3-5 minutes until heated through, and cheese is melted.
This meal is primarily pasta with a vague tomato/cheese/herb taste.
Also tastes great with Chilli if you like it hot, and/or Meatballs or chunks of meat,
The sugar isn’t needed if you use pre-flavoured tomatoes of any kind.
