Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    For the proposed tomato sauce, soften the onion in olive oil for 5 minutes; add garlic for 30 seconds, then tomato, salt, pepper and paprika. Simmer uncovered 15–20 minutes until spoonable, adding a little water only if it catches. Measure about 240 mL for the dish.

  2. Step 2

    Boil macaroni in salted water until tender; drain, reserving a little cooking water.

  3. Step 3

    Fry the second chopped onion and two garlic cloves in olive oil until soft, then add the proposed tomato sauce and simmer briefly.

  4. Step 4

    Add drained macaroni and toss over moderate heat for 2–3 minutes; loosen with a spoon of cooking water if needed. Serve hot, with separately baked chicken if desired.
