Pasta will taste 'delicious' when paired with 1 sauce that uses just 6 ingredients

Former MasterChef champion Shelina Permalloo has shared her ultimate pasta sauce recipe, perfect for all the family to enjoy. As she welcomed the return of school, the chef revealed she has been on the hunt for recipes that "everyone will be happy with".

Pasta is a staple for comfort food, so Shelina shared how she levels up a simple dish with just six ingredients. The recipe is so simple she hardly calls it a recipe. Shelina wrote in the caption: "This is barely cooking but tastes delicious and it's so versatile.

"Using a really good quality tomato paste is what will transform this sauce and you all know how much I love my Turkish one. "I pair it with spaghetti and serve it with veggies, salad, or even roast chicken my daughter's favourite!"

You only need a handful of ingredients for the recipe, but Shelina's most important ingredient is a good quality tomato paste. She said: "This red pasta is a life saver, every child I know will eat it.

"It's so easy, just make sure you have really good quality tomato paste. I'm using my Turkish tomato paste."

Shelina's daughter recommended pairing it with some chicken and salad. Shelina continued: "This is barrel a recipe, because all you is add in your cooked spaghetti - and that is it."

Another wrote: "I'll take two bowls please."

Another suggested: "Yes and if you want to level it up. When you're frying the garlic and tomatoes add a tablespoon of white vinegar. Trust me it takes it to the next level."

Faz commented: "I do this but add the red pepper paste and some black pepper ahhhh delish."

So if you're looking for an easy recipe to rustle up for all the family, this is what you'll need.
