Mexican Pasta (Sopa?) image

I put Sopa in the title because that is what my mom calls it and I'm not sure if there is a better name for this dish. It is a wonderful side dish and I just made it a few moments ago and I had to share. You can use almost any type of pasta.

Categories     Mexican

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups of uncooked pasta (I use small pasta shells, you can use almost anything. If you use a long pasta like spaghetti, break)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup onion
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
water

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a 2 qt sauce pan.
  • Put the uncooked pasta, onions and garlic in 2 qt sauce pan.
  • Stir regularly until onions become translucent and pasta has brown spots on it where it has fried.
  • Put tomato sauce and salt in sauce pan.
  • Put enough water in saucepan to cover pasta completely but not too much.
  • Stir then cover saucepan and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Uncover saucepan and let water cook down until sauce nearly disappears, stirring ocassionally.
  • Once the liquid has mostly disappeared, sprinkle with cheese, take off heat and cover with lid so cheese can melt.
