**Ingredients Needed**
2 cups of pasta
4 cups of water
1 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of oil
**For the Sauce**
3 large tomatoes (pureed)
1 large onion (finely chopped)
1 capsicum/bell pepper (finely chopped)
4-5 garlic cloves (chopped)
2 green chilies
1 tablespoon of tomato sauce/ketchup
1 teaspoon of red chili powder
1 teaspoon of Kashmiri red chili powder
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper powder
1 teaspoon of chili flakes
1 teaspoon of oregano
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter
**Boiling the Pasta**
Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Add salt and a dash of oil. Once boiling, introduce the pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes. After the pasta is cooked to your liking, drain it and rinse with cold water to avoid sticking.
**Preparing the Spicy Sauce**
In a pan, heat olive oil or butter. Sauté the chopped garlic until it turns a light golden color. Then, add the onion and green chilies, cooking for 2-3 minutes.
Next, incorporate the capsicum and sauté on high heat for a few minutes. Add the tomato puree and tomato sauce, mixing thoroughly. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens.
Now, stir in the red chili powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, black pepper, salt, chili flakes, and oregano; mix well. Let the spices cook for an additional 2 minutes to meld their flavors into the sauce. Preparation Method
Add the boiled pasta to the sauce and mix well. Cook together for 2-3 minutes, ensuring the pasta is well-coated with the spicy sauce.
If you desire an extra kick, feel free to add more chili flakes or finely chopped green chilies.
**Serving Suggestions**
Serve the hot, spicy pasta in a bowl. Top it with cheese, chili flakes, and oregano. It pairs wonderfully with garlic bread, French fries, or a refreshing drink.
