I have been in singapore long back, there I had a good pasta, in pasta mania and being vegetarian I tried all  7 different pastas. In all,  I love  pasta arabiata..tangy, spicy and juicy .

I tried it at home and guess what!! results..yummmmyyyyy. This pasta will take no time to cook and totally non messy.....

 All you need for 2 is:                                                                

6-8 Red tomatoes.
Pasta of your choice(spagetti,penne, fusili etc)
7-8 Freash basil leaves
3-4 Garlic cloves
3 green chillies
Oregano ( acc. Taste)
Dry Basil leaves pwder(readily available in market)
2 Tb spoon Olive Oil.
3 Tb spoon Tomato Ketchup
Salt to taste

Method:
Boil Pasta with pinch of salt and 1 T Spoon of olive oil. On other side blend tomatoes, garlic, chillies and basil leaves in fine puree. Heat olive oil in wok, add puree and cook for 15 min, then add basil powder and oregano and cook for another 10 mins.  Add Ketchup and simmer for 5 min.
