We use some cheese for extra flavor.

Used ingredients for this recipe
Pasta: I love the shape and size of penne pasta because it holds the sauce very well and looks beautiful but you can also use any other pasta for this recipe. Tastes always the same. Use the best quality pasta. Use pasta water for the sauce because the starch helps to thicken the sauce.
Tomato: Use good quality and ripe tomatoes. Because of flavor and color matters. Do not use raw tomatoes. You can also use canned tomatoes. But if possible then go to the market and choose some red and ripe tomatoes and use this. Because fresh is always the best.
Herbs: Use some oregano and some Italian seasoning for the sauce. It enhances the flavor of the sauce.
Cheese: Here we processed cheese but can use your favorite one. For extra cheesy and stringy flavor and texture, use mozzarella cheese.
Seasoning: Use some sugar for balancing the flavor of the sauce. Add less salt because cheese also has a salty flavor. You can also use basil leaves. Use some tomato ketchup and red chili ketchup for extra flavor.
