    Plate pasta and top with tomato mix. Add remaining Parmesan and enjoy.

    Take three tablespoons of diced canned tomatoes, I used the one with oregano, basil and garlic added. Place on plate and smash with a fork.
  • 6
    Add tomato to flour and work in. Add about 2-3 tbsp. of water as needed. Knead for about 5 min. adding more flour if too sticky. Wrap in saran wrap and refrigerate until needed, at least thirty minutes.
