Macaroni and Peas image

This is great comfort food. I love this on a cold winter evening with some bread and a glass of red wine.

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 small onion
2 garlic cloves
olive oil
red pepper flakes
black pepper
italian seasoning (mix of oregano, basil, parsley)
1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
14 ounces water
1 (8 ounce) package frozen peas
1 lb macaroni

Steps:

  • Saute onions in olive oil. When onions are soft, saute garlic quickly.
  • Add tomato sauce and 1/2 can water.
  • Add seasonings to your taste. (I prefer a lot of red pepper to make the sauce hot).
  • Simmer covered for about 45 minutes. Add peas during last 20 minutes of cooking.
  • Prepare macaroni (elbows or small shells) as directed on box.
  • Serve in a big bowl with lots of sauce. I prefer it as a soupy pasta. Add grated cheese. Delicious with bread and a glass of wine.
