7 – minute – tomato sauce with feta cheese for pasta

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 1 m.-sized onion(s)
• 1 tsp garlic paste
• 1 can tomato(s), pizza tomatoes, chopped
• 150 g feta cheese (made from sheep’s milk)
• salt and pepper
• basil, fresh

Instructions

Working time approx. 7 minutes; Total time approx. 7 minutes

First, boil the water for the pasta, preferably short pasta, such as casareccia/conchiglie/galletti or penne. It will definitely take longer than this sauce. But that’s okay. The sauce can wait for the pasta, but never the other way around. For the 7-minute tomato and feta cheese sauce, melt the diced onions and garlic in olive oil, add the chopped tomatoes, and season with salt and pepper. (Alternative: season with instant broth and, if desired, refine with an Italian or Provençal herb blend.) Thicken the sauce if necessary, e.g., with locust bean gum. When the pasta is al dente, strain it, serve directly in bowls, spoon the tomato sauce over it, and finish with feta crumbs and fresh basil. Variation: Any other soft cheese can be used instead of feta. The whole thing only takes 5 minutes if you use prepared frozen diced onions and garlic paste.
