This is pretty simple and cheap dish that my mother in-law made and was one of my husband's favorite.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 pound elbows
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, chopped or one large one
1 (15oz) can tomato sauce
2 cups of water
1 (15 oz) can peas or you can use frozen
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Salt and Pepper to taste
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
2. While pasta water is boiling, heat olive oil in a large skillet and over medium heat. Cook onions until tender. Stir in salt, pepper, tomato sauce, water and peas. Reduce heat and simmer until past is done.
3. Stir cooked pasta into tomato mixture. Increase heat and bring to a boil briefly. Remove from heat, stir in cheese, cover and let rest 10 minutes. Serve
NOTE: I don't cook with salt, the recipe is just as good without for those who are watching their salt intake. The sauce will be more like a soup and not like a spaghetti sauce, hence the 2 cups of water. It does not dilute the flavor. A good cheese to use is Lucatella cheese.
ENJOY!!!
